Taking to social media website X, they declared: "What a night Glasgow! We had an absolute blast performing on the bandstand...as stages go, this was pretty special."

The band, who have previously performed in iconic venues in the city such as The Barrowland Ballroom, followed in the footsteps of former Smiths star' Johnny Marr and Gabrielle who have all played at Summer Nights at the Bandstand this year.

Fans agreed with the rockers' observation with one saying, "Loved it! Awesome venue, band, weather, and crowd. I was gutted when you finished."

Another chipped in: "TRNSMT 2025? Over 30s night."

One fan declared: "What a night! I got blown away."

Ocean Colour Scene is known for anthems The Day We Caught The Train and The Riverboat Song.

We previously reported that the Kelvingrove bandstand has turned 100 years old. 

For the first two decades after its opening in 1853, Kelvingrove Park was designed as a place to walk, rest, and enjoy nature.

That changed in 1872, when the 25th Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers became the first band to perform there.

The current bandstand is actually Kelvingrove Park’s third.

The Sun Foundry built the first in 1875. It opened the following year in an extension of the park where the Lord Kelvin statue now stands.

Concerts at the city’s new attraction became incredibly popular, with Saturday crowds regularly topping 10,000.
