DUNDEE band The View hailed Glasgow as the "f*cking b*llocks" while they performed on the main stage at TRNSMT today.
Their frontman Kyle Falconer, appeared on stage wearing a bright red Umbro two-piece and acclaimed: “Do you get any better than Glasgow? I’m from Dundee and I say that. Glasgow is the f*cking b*llocks,” the singer proceed to kick off the set with Grace.
The band presented a united front after an on-stage bust-up, as we reported back in May.
So far on Friday, crowds have enjoyed sets from acts including The View; Joesef; and Declan Welsh & the Decadent West.
Former Beautiful South singer Paul Heaton will also play as will Niall Horan from One Direction.
Heaton was popular in Glasgow’s east end when he put substantial bar tabs behind five bars near to Glasgow Green.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
