Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has performed hits from the band’s debut album in front of enraptured fans at Trnsmt.
The look of the day was a St Andrews flag wrapped around an Oasis T-shirt, which was adopted by many young fans.
Others wore black-and-white Adidas football shirts branded “Gallagher” on the back.
Trnsmt fans ranged in age from pre-teens to middle-aged at the festival on Glasgow Green.
Rapper Example, who released his first album in 2007, won the hearts of the crowd who broke into chants of “No Scotland No Party”.
Gallagher opened his set with Rock’n’Roll Star, and fans joined in for a singalong of Half The World Away.
He belted out Shakermaker and also performed Married With Children, both from Definitely Maybe.
Dressed in his trademark parka, he used a maraca to create the vibe which won Oasis legions of fans in the 1990s.
Gallagher finished with a Beatles cover – I Am The Walrus.
Garbage performed a lively set including Only Happy When It Rains, and Stupid Girl, with Shirley Manson wearing a tartan dress.
She addressed the crowd, saying: “Our first record was released in 1995 before most of you were born.”
She dedicated a song to Siouxsie And The Banshees, and said they inspired Garbage in the 1980s.
She commented on the number of pink cowboy hats in the crowd, and said: “Taylor Swift has taken the music industry and made it her bitch.”
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!
