A Police Scotland spokesperson told the Glasgow Times that there were three arrests made on Saturday night, but did not have further details on the offences at this time.

The Scottish two-time Grammy award-winning musician has collaborated with global artists including Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, The Weeknd and Travis Scott.

He is known for international hits such as We Found Love, Outside and This Is What You Came For.

Earlier this week, the Dumfries-born star made an unusual announcement ahead of the gigs, revealing a limited-edition Rave Haggis created with Scottish butcher Stahly Quality Foods, available online and at the shows and billed as “a tribute to Scottish culture” and “the ultimate collector’s item”.

Travel plans have also been ramped up, with ScotRail running extra services and queue systems at Glasgow Central to help thousands of fans get to and from Mount Florida safely.
