A fight broke out at the TRNSMT festival this evening, drawing a large crowd of onlookers. Two teenagers were seen exchanging punches near the big wheel area around 8pm.
Video footage shows a crowd of approximately 40 to 50 revellers following the altercation as it moved across the festival site. A steward eventually intervened to break up the fight.
One eyewitness expressed frustration at the slow response from stewards. She stated, "The guy that was getting battered looked absolutely knackered. It just seems like a lot of people here can't handle their drink - they were really going for it."
She added, "I said to a few of the stewards, 'there's a fight can you help'. But they just said 'aw it'll be all right.' Then I said to a couple of other stewards but they just said 'oh ok.' When they were at the big wheel, a guy came in a yellow vest with a radio and split it up. But before that it was just a free for all - there were about 50 people following them."
TRNSMT organisers DF Concerts have been contacted for comment. Scotland's biggest music festival opened its doors at Glasgow Green today, featuring acts such as Kasabian, CMAT, Richard Ashcroft, Amy Macdonald, and Lewis Capaldi. The festival is also hosting a fan zone for Scotland's match against Morocco tonight.
