US rap star 50 Cent took to the stage accompanied by scantily-clad dancers as he closed the first night of Trnsmt.

The New York singer appeared on stage at Glasgow Green for a salacious performance which included a backdrop of neon signs with images including lollipops and 50 Cent coins.

Fiddy, part of G-Unit, got people dancing with hits including PIMP and Candy Shop.

He performed with a series of female dancers who wore lingerie and denim shorts.

His set was at one point punctuated with the sound of gunshots.

Napoli footballer and Scotland international Billy Gilmour was spotted in the crowd on Friday evening.

Australian electro-pop act Confidence Man performed a 2000s dance music-inspired set on the King Tut’s stage.

The duo opened with Now U Do, and wore what appeared to be bridal-inspired outfits and performed a choreographed dance routine despite the heat.
