Another four were arrested outside the perimeter fence.

Police Scotland said that seven of those arrested were adult men, while two girls and five boys aged under 18 were also detained on Saturday.

The total number of people arrested at Trnsmt now stands at 25, including 11 people on Friday.

“The age range of those arrested is 15-42.”

The festival on Glasgow Green continues on Sunday, with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris headlining.

“Please consider alternative arrangements when travelling home from Trnsmt today.”
