Jungle opens new Summer festival in Cascais
First up on the line-up are Jungle, the London-based duo known for their electrifying live shows and crowd-lifting grooves. Having graced stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and closer to home at NOS Alive, Paredes de Coura and Kalorama, the pair will bring their DJ set to the dramatic seaside setting of Forte de Santo António da Barra in São João do Estoril on August 16th.
Organised by Gigs On Mars with support from Turismo de Cascais, the festival aims to fuse internationally renowned names with some of Portugal's most influential electronic artists, all in rarely-used, atmospheric locations around the region. 'A line-up that brings together global heavyweights and national trailblazers, in venues not typically used for events in the area,' reads a statement from the organisers released on Wednesday.
Cascais Atlantic Sunsets promises to blend 'local talent' with 'big names from the global electronic scene', offering a mix of rising stars and international heavy-hitters. More artists – along with details of the second unique venue – are set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Tickets are on sale from this Wednesday, with a special early bird price of €25.

Stevie Wonder closes off Love, Light and Song tour in heatwave Hyde Park
The soul singer was led onto the stage at the British Summer Time (BST) on Saturday in front of 65,000 people by his children, who also performed with him during his two-hour set. Wearing a white tunic embroidered with the faces of John Lennon and Marvin Gaye, he welcomed the crowd with a London-accented 'hello'. Wonder celebrated the technology that has made music more accessible for people and expressed his hope that more musicians will use their platform to help others, adding: 'Because every single person who is blind should be able to see in their own way.' Signed, sealed, delivered! Thank you, @StevieWonder ❤️#BSTHydePark #StevieWonder — BST Hyde Park (@BSTHydePark) July 12, 2025 He added: 'And if you don't believe me, you don't agree, meet in the dark and let's see what happens.' Wonder also gestured at the embroidered faces on his tunic, saying the names but pointing to the wrong face. As he did so, he said: 'Sorry y'all, I'm blind you know.' The first song, Love's In Need of Love Today, was followed by a tribute to John Lennon's Imagine. After soloing on the harmonica, Wonder launched into Master Blaster (Jammin') and said: 'Now that we've made our point perfectly, clear, let's get to this.' At 75 years old, Wonder has not lost any of his vocal power. His saxophone-like voice glided through each song as he tilted his body left to right. It was his first UK performance since he last played BST in 2019 and people from the crowd kept shouting: 'Yes Stevie, we love you!' To which Wonder replied: 'I love y'all too.' Underneath his black leather beret and behind his dark, sparkly sunglasses, Wonder also paid tribute to the funk-rock star Sly Stone who died last month. He was joined by around 20 musicians on stage, including two other keyboard players, a brass section and backing vocalists that included his daughter Aisha Morris. As the sun set over heatwave-baked Hyde Park, the stage lit up as a jukebox showing many of Wonder's hits over his six-decade career. He dedicated the song Happy Birthday to his daughter Sophia saying it was her birthday on July 13, inviting her to the front of the stage mid-song. The band then flew into I Wish and Isn't She Lovely, with another harmonica solo that sent whoops and cheers through the densely-packed crowd. Wonder's penultimate song started with him tapping one key with one finger, saying 'we've got to do this one', before the famous-funky riff of Superstition filled the darkening arena. The band continued playing past the official cut off time of 10pm with Wonder egging on the crowd, singing: 'I know we've got to go but we're gonna keep this party going.' He then finished with Another Star, with many of the guest singers joining him at the front of the stage. As the band continued playing, Wonder lined up with his family and bowed to the audience. His last comment before leaving the stage was: 'I love you with my deepest heart and there's nothing you can do about it.' Wonder was supported by Ezra Collective, Thee Sacred Souls, Elmiene and Corinne Bailey Rae, among others. It was the last of five shows in Wonder's Love, Light and Song UK tour, where he also played in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Lytham.

Huge American film star 'is tipped to be the next Bond girl as she's a pal of 007 director Denis Villeneuve AND has the backing of Jeff Bezos'
Sydney Sweeney is reportedly in the running to be the next Bond girl in the long-awaited new instalment in the 007 franchise. Director Denis Villeneuve is said to be a friend of the star and is looking to cast the White Lotus actress, 27, according to The Sun on Sunday. Jeff Bezos, who is the head of Amazon and has creative control over the flick, is also believed to be backing the actress. A source told the publication: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. 'Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. 'They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise.' MailOnline has contacted Sydney's representatives for comment. Following months of speculation on who will be named the new James Bond, three names for the coveted role at last emerged from Coral Bookmakers last week, with one lead actor back in the running. Kick Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35, is odds on favourite with Dunkirk actor Jack Lowden, also 35, and Netflix star Theo James, 40, following close behind. Bookmaker Coral have reported seeing a strong wave of support behind Aaron with the British actor as the 9-4 favourite for the role. Meanwhile Theo is second best in the betting at 4-1, while Jack is backed at 5-1. Elsewhere the betting site have Superman star Henry Cavill, 42, with odds of 10-1. Coral's John Hill said: 'We've seen another strong wave of support behind Aaron Taylor-Johnson in our next James Bond betting. Although other names have been linked with the role in recent weeks. 'The British actor remains the man punters are backing to replace Daniel Craig'. However, it is believe to not be possible for Spiderman star Tom to bag the role of 007 as he begins filming Spider Man 4 - which has the reported working name Spider-Man: Brand New Day - in the coming months. The studio announced on Wednesday that Denis Villeneuve - best known for directing Warner Bros.' two-part Dune adaptation - has signed on to direct the untitled film Bond film, via Amazon press release. The French-Canadian filmmaker, 57, will also serve as executive producer of the project alongside Tanya Lapointe. Amazon had previously announced Amy Pascal and David Heyman as the film's producers, after the studio parted ways with longtime 007 caretakers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The news comes just over three years after Amazon completed its massive $8.5billion acquisition of MGM Studios that included the James Bond franchise. Aaron is currently the top favourite at 9-4 for the role while Theo (pictured in 2024) is second best in the betting at 4-1, while Jack can be backed at 5-1 There hasn't been a Bond film since 2021's No Time to Die, the final instalment with Daniel Craig as the beloved secret agent. The director said in a statement, 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery.' He added, 'I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' The filmmaker admitted: 'This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor.' He also went on to thank Bond producers Amy and David, adding they, 'are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust'. Amy and David added, 'Denis Villeneuve has been in love with James Bond movies since he was a little boy. 'It was always his dream to make this movie, and now it's ours, too. We are lucky to be in the hands of this extraordinary filmmaker.' After Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, they obtained full creative control of the 007 franchise with a deal they struck with Barbara and Michael, the offspring of original James Bond producer, Albert R. Broccoli. Barbara and Michael had been overseeing the franchise since 1995, when their father ceded control of his Eon Productions company to them. Amazon reached an agreement with Barbara and Michael in March 2025, and while financial terms were not disclosed, it was rumored to be upwards of $1 billion. Villeneuve made his directorial debut in 1998 with August 32nd on Earth, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival that year. He followed that up with Maelstrom (2000), Polytechnique (2009) and Incendies (2010), the latter of which was nominated for Best International Film at the Academy Awards. The filmmaker broke through in Hollywood with 2013's Prisoners, a dark drama starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. He continued to win acclaim for 2013's Enemy, 2015's Sicario, 2016's Arrival, 2017's Blade Runner 2049 and, most recently, 2021's Dune: Part One and 2024's Dune: Part Two. Speculation has continued to grow over who will be the next big-screen Bond and the Bond franchise also prompted a flurry of guesses as to where they might take the franchise next. Bond has been spoiled with video game adaptations since the 1980s, with early adaptations taking the form of shooting games or text adventures in which players typed in what they wanted the super-spy to do. Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.

How an ex-Magic Mike stripper charmed super-woke Evita star Rachel Zegler – but will the curtain fall on their romance once her West End run finishes?
At exactly 9.05pm every evening, a hushed silence descends outside the London Palladium. Tourists scurrying along Argyll Street stop in their tracks; traffic grinds to a halt; shoppers put down their shopping bags – and look up. For there, behind iron railings on the first-floor balcony, a petite young woman with blonde hair, wearing a white ball gown, diamond necklace and glittering chandelier earrings, emerges from the theatre to sing her heart out to passers-by.
