Other people arrested included a 13-year-old unnamed girl for breach of public conduct and disorderly behavior, the youngest to be arrested. The oldest person to be arrested was 42 years old.
In another incident, a 15-year-old boy was injured in another festival incident at the boat house within the park that serves as the festival grounds. Shettleston CID Detective sergeant Stephen Greenshields said in another general press statement:

TRNSMT Festival goers faced other problems as well, with Scottish Rail service having to provide a significantly reduced amount of trains, leaving a number of festival patrons scrambling for alternative means of transport.
The festival each year witnesses about 50,000 and more people over its three days, and this year was no different. The TRNSMT 2024 festival saw performances by headliners Liam Gallagher, Gerry Cinnamon and Calvin Harris as well as artists such as Declan McKenna, The Last Dinner Party, Courteeners, Rick Astley, Dylan John Thomas, Cian Ducrot, The Mary Wallopers, and more.
The festival has already been renewed for its 2025 edition, which will be held at the same Glasgow Green Park from July 11 to 13, 2025. The first wave of Early Bird tickets are already sold out and the festival is now hearing from its fans on their artist wishlist for the upcoming edition of the festival. Interested patrons can make their wish on the festival's socials' post comments.
TRNSMT festival is a recent addition to the Glasgow festival scene, with the first edition having been held in 2017. The inaugural edition of the festival was critically successful and won the Best New Festival award at the 2017 UK Festival Awards. The award winning first edition featured performances by Radiohead, Kasabian and more.
The festival has also seen performances by artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Queen + Adam Lambert and The Killers in 2018, as well as Catfish and the Bottlemen in 2019, Paolo Nutini and The Strokes in 2022 and Pulp in 2023.
While the average audience count per day is 50,000, the highest crowd fall ever recorded at the TRNSMT festival is more than 120,000. The festival is partnered by Rockstar Energy Drinks as well as companies such as Bacardi, Busker and Pepsi, among others.
