It is estimated about 50,000 people attended each day of the three-day event, which featured performances from the likes of Liam Gallagher, Gerry Cinnamon and Calvin Harris.
Meanwhile, police are also appealing for information after a 15-year-old male was injured in a disturbance around the same area at the weekend.
The incident happened in the Glasgow Green area near the boat house at about 4pm on Saturday.
The teenager had to be treated for a head wound by medical staff following the disturbance.
Police have not revealed whether the incident was linked to Trnsmt.
Detective Sergeant Stephen Greenshields, of Shettleston CID, said: “Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and trace those involved in the incident.
“I would urge anyone who witnessed the disturbance or who has any information that could assist with our inquiries to please get in touch.”
Anyone with information can call Police Scotland 101, quoting reference 1053 of July 13 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
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!
