Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play TRNSMT's last day as hot weather continues

Yahoo9 hours ago
Snow Patrol will headline Scotland's biggest music festival on Sunday as the three-day event comes to a close.
The sweltering heat is set to continue with TRNSMT gig-goers facing temperatures of around 26C on the last day.
Those attending Glasgow Green will hear from Gracie Abrams, Jade, Myles Smith and Tom Walker, among others.
Indie artist Jake Bugg told the PA news agency on Saturday that Scottish crowds 'have always been great', adding: 'I've always enjoyed every gig I've played here (Glasgow).'
Dylan McNish, 22, attended the festival with his dad, Duncan, 49, from Corby, to see Fontaines DC, the penultimate act on Saturday.
Speaking at their first festival together, Dylan said: 'I'm not coping with the heat so well.
'But the atmosphere has been great. We are seeing Inhaler. We are buzzing for Underworld. Thumbs up so far.'
Fontaines DC played to an energetic crowd in the evening, with some of the biggest cheers being 'free Palestine' chants.
Biffy Clyro headlined the night before tens of thousands of fans left Glasgow Green for home.
Aimie Race, 47, who took her daughter to her first festival, said she 'could not have asked for better weather'.
'It's been really nice here. Everyone is really friendly. Everyone has desperately been looking out for shady spots but we are enjoying the sunshine.'
Beth Ballantyne, 21, said she passed out on Friday due to the heat, but pledged to persevere, describing TRMSMT as '10 out of 10'.
Daniel Clare, an 18-year-old who travelled from Dublin with his two friends, said he was disappointed that Kneecap was removed from the festival.
He urged people to 'drink water and have a good time' amid the sweltering heat.
Norm McDonald, 16, said he was 'cooking' and 'scared' of getting burned, although that did not stop him from going shirtless throughout the entire festival.
He described 50 Cent's set as 'nine out 10' and said he would have given it a 10 if he didn't lose his friends for the rapper's set.
His friend Carson Smith, also 16, was more impressed, giving the Friday a 'banging 10 out of 10'.
'The sun's out,' he said, 'That's all that matters.'

Ashleigh Willmot, 29, travelled from Essex to see Biffy Clyro – a band she had never seen before Saturday.
'I was expecting it to be raining, so I'm underprepared, but I'm loving it – it's amazing,' she said.
'Everyone is super chill here. Everyone is doing their own thing – it's great.
'Everyone is happy. It's really good, the buzz.'
Six people have been arrested and charged in connection with various offences in and around the area of Glasgow Green following the opening night of a festival.https://t.co/pPNUDBDyMw pic.twitter.com/FK60Rv0Q6P

Police Scotland said it made six arrests on Friday around Glasgow Green, including a hate crime charge.
Police had a visible presence throughout the festival, and more arrests are expected to be made as it comes to a close.
Scottish singer Amy Macdonald played a secret set on the second day of the festival, although many fans of Wunderhorse were left disappointed after the band dropped out due to illness, with singer Miles Kane replacing them.
Norwegian artist Sigrid also took to the main stage on Saturday, donning a tartan TRNSMT top.
She told the PA news agency it was one of the hottest shows she had ever done, but said it was 'really fun'. However, she admitted to not 'feeling very well' amid the hot afternoon sun during her set.
Those attending Sunday have been urged to seek the shade, wear hats and put on sunscreen as the sunny weather continues.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde also urged music fans to drink plenty of water during the heat.

Sienna Miller brings back ditsy florals in a sweet summer dress at Wimbledon

Just as we were about to declare polka dots or gingham as the print of the summer, Sienna Miller declares that ditsy florals are back. The actress was spotted in the stands at Wimbledon today wearing a sweet mini-dress covered in tiny flowers. The style, which featured soft puff shoulders, ruffle detailing and a black ribbon woven around the neckline, is by the London-based designer Alessandra Rich (and currently in the sale). Rich is known for her feminine dresses, which often feature dainty prints and accented collars, worn by everyone from the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber and Michelle Williams. Miller styled her mini-dress with some classic black sunglasses, her centre-parted hair in loose waves. She was joined at the tournament by boyfriend Oli Green, who looked dapper in a navy suit and silver tie. They were also sat with Hollywood actress Jodie Foster and singer Katherine Jenkins, to enjoy the Centre Court action on day nine of the famed tennis championship. Miller is a regular fixture in the stands at Wimbledon, attending the tournament most years (sometimes more than once). Naturally, she always nails the dress code in something chic and classic, leaving her beauty look pared-back – glowing skin, subtle make-up and a nude manicure – to allow her wardrobe to take centre stage. "I think since I became a young woman, I've always been more minimalist," she told us last year, when sharing the contents of her beauty bag, adding that she feels her most beautiful when barefaced but "a little bit sun-kissed". Her tendency towards the natural can also be seen via her usually tousled hair. "My signature hairstyle would be 'just rolled out of bed'," she jokes, explaining that her naturally wavy hair "looks better if I just let it dry and leave it".

Inside the British royal family's most scandalous summer vacation spots

Like anyone else, the royals love to let loose on a glitzy getaway. The British royal family's summer vacations are typically kept private. But over the years, their go-to destinations have made headlines. And it turns out they don't just go to Balmoral, their Scottish estate, to reflect and spend time with loved ones. "There have been many incidents of royal recreations which have raised eyebrows in the past," Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. "In the 1950s, Prince Philip regularly went on sailing trips to New Guinea, Ceylon and Malaysia for three months at a time, allegedly with female secretaries, leaving the queen alone in London." "Balmoral was always the official favorite for the royals and the queen chose [to spend] her last days there," he shared. "[But] there were many [past] stories of girls rushing up to [the former Prince] Charles in skimpy bikinis when he was a bachelor visiting Australia." Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams pointed out that Prince Harry's escapades in Sin City are still legendary. "Prince Harry's naked cavorting in Las Vegas was the perfect advertisement for the city – 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,'" Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "[The city] reportedly benefited from the publicity enormously." Harry wrote about his 2012 trip to Las Vegas in his explosive 2023 memoir "Spare," Vanity Fair reported. According to the Duke of Sussex, after a night of gambling and boozing, his pals invited a group of "dodgy" women to his luxurious suite. "I suggested we up the stakes," Harry wrote, as quoted by the outlet. "How about a game of strip pool? Enthusiastic cheers. Ten minutes later I was the big loser, reduced to my skivvies. Then I lost my skivvies. It was harmless, silly, or so I thought." WATCH: PRINCESS DIANA'S BODYGUARD LEE SANSUM RECALLS HOW YOUNG PRINCE WILLIAM AND PRINCE HARRY REACTED TO THE PAPARAZZI The photos from the night were posted on TMZ. And while Harry was expecting his father, King Charles, to reprimand him, he was "gentle, even bemused." "He felt for me, he said, he'd been there, though he'd never been naked on a front page," Harry wrote. "Actually, that was untrue. When I was about 8 years old, a German newspaper had published naked photos of him, taken with a telephoto lens while he was holidaying in France." But several royal experts agreed that Harry wasn't the royal family's most well-known for escapades across the pond – it was the late queen's younger sister, Princess Margaret. Her lady-in-waiting's husband, Lord Colin Tennant, spent vast amounts of his fortune on transforming Mustique, a tiny island in the Caribbean, into a party resort for the rich and famous. He gifted Margaret a 10-acre plot of land on the island. "Princess Margaret's scandalous affair with 'toy boy' turned wannabe disco star Roddy Llewellyn also unfolded on Mustique," Vanity Fair reported. "In 1976, photos of the couple frolicking on Mustique (Llewellyn wearing Union Jack swimming trunks) were published in The News of the World, hastening Margaret's separation from equally unfaithful husband Antony Armstrong-Jones." Over the years, other royals have found themselves in hot water. Vanity Fair reported that the "most notorious vacation mishap in modern royal history" took place in 1992. Sarah, Duchess of York, who had separated from Prince Andrew, was soaking up the sun in St. Tropez with her beau, financier John Bryan. It was there where paparazzi snapped photos of Bryan sucking on her toes while she sunbathed topless. Sarah and Andrew's divorce was finalized in 1996. "Recently, there haven't been any scandals," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "But back in 2012… the topless photo scandal involving Kate Middleton… was considered in such poor taste that the media has stayed away from such [stories] in general." In 2012, the French magazine Closer and the local newspaper La Provence published photos taken with telephoto lenses of the future Princess of Wales sunbathing topless with Prince William at a château in France, Glamour magazine reported. According to the outlet, the couple sued and were later awarded $118,000 in damages by a French court. While the royal family's vacations don't always take place during the steamy season, they are known for letting their hair down when duty doesn't call. According to Vanity Fair, the Prince and Princess of Wales, now parents of three young children, also enjoy embarking on family trips to Mustique, the Isles of Scilly, the ski resort of Courchevel in France, as well as Jordan, where Kate spent a part of her childhood. "By all accounts, Prince William and Catherine are such upstanding royals that they simply aren't involved in any scandals," Fordwich added. For William and Harry, Africa has been a destination for love. Prince William proposed to Kate in Kenya in 2010. Harry and his then-girlfriend, Meghan Markle, traveled to his beloved Botswana in 2017. "I gave her my best Botswana pitch," Harry wrote in "Spare," as quoted by Vanity Fair. "Birthplace of all humankind. Most sparsely populated nation on Earth. True Garden of Eden, with 40 percent of the land given over to nature. Plus, the largest number of elephants of any nation on Earth. Above all, it was the place where I'd found myself, where I always re-found myself, where I always felt close to – magic? If she was interested in magic, she should come with me, experience it with me." Since the couple tied the knot in 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly vacationed in Costa Rica, Canouan in the Caribbean, as well as Elton John's home in Nice. "We look forward to hearing how they vacation in their reported holiday home in Portugal," said Fitzwilliams. Harry is said to have bittersweet memories of the south of France. In July 1997, his mother, Princess Diana, was photographed in St. Tropez on the Jonikal, Mohamed Al-Fayed's yacht. A month later, the Princess of Wales died from injuries she sustained in a Paris car crash at age 36. According to the outlet, Diana was known to use her getaway during the last year of her life to bargain with paparazzi, who were eager to take photos of her in stylish swimsuits. It's been said that Diana wanted to show the public that she was free after her divorce from Charles was finalized in 1996. "There was much laughter, horseplay, the norm whenever Mummy and Willy and I were together, though even more so on that holiday," Harry recalled in "Spare," as quoted by the outlet. "Everything about that trip to St. Tropez was heaven. The weather was sublime, the food was tasty, Mummy was smiling." In recent years, Charles appears to be focusing on cost. While he still maintains his late mother's tradition of spending his summers in Balmoral, Buckingham Palace announced that the king will end 156 years of service for the Royal Train. The palace noted it costs too much to operate and would need a significant upgrade for more advanced rail systems. "It is a pity this did not happen in the 1990s," said Fitzwilliams. "The Royal Yacht Britannia, which was decommissioned in 1997, should have been saved... It was famously used for the royal family's summer holiday when Queen Elizabeth could relax at her beloved Balmoral. This became a rite of passage for members of the royal family." "A royal favorite was the Britannia," chimed Turner. "It was one of the few times the queen was seen to shed a tear when it was decommissioned due to cutbacks in finances."
