Geoff Ellis, festival director of Trnsmt, said: 'This year's festival has undoubtedly been one of the best to date.
'While the weather has certainly been one of our star bookings, it's the fans who have truly made the weekend so special – a passionate, welcoming mix of ages, united in their love of live music and creating an atmosphere that has been nothing short of exceptional.
'Glasgow Green has provided a perfect setting once again, with the natural shade under the trees offering fans the opportunity to take respite from the sunshine and enjoy the surroundings at their own pace.
'Musically, the weekend has delivered some outstanding moments – Biffy Clyro gave a phenomenal headline performance, Fontaines DC drew a huge and energetic crowd, and Underworld brought an electrifying, club-like energy to the Smirnoff presents King Tut's Stage on Saturday night, following a fantastic set from Jake Bugg.
'It's also been a pleasure to showcase emerging talent: Nell Mescal, Alessi Rose, and Nieve Ella all gave impressive performances and are certainly names to watch for the future.
'I'm incredibly proud of what the entire team has accomplished this year, and I'd like to thank every artist and fan for contributing to such a memorable festival.'
