Latitude festival delays the start of Elbow set as they close the stage for fans to watch Lionesses scream to victory in tense penalty shoot out

The Lionesses were crowned champions of Europe after a nail-biting penalty shoot out saw the team beat their opponents Spain after a 3-1 penalty shoot out. And festival-goers didn't miss out on the historic action as the festival closed the main stage for fans to catch the final without missing out on the act. During coverage for the game, the commentator revealed that the rock band had halted their performance for fans to watch the England final. Taking to X, one person shared a look at fans crowding around a screen to catch the action as they gathered camping chairs to watch the match. Another impressed fan wrote :'Shout out to Latitude Festival delaying the sets to show the football.' Latitude festival #england #lionesses — Liam Knight (@LiamKni63743342) July 27, 2025 Elbow are the penultimate act of the day with Snow Patrol set to headline. After a gruelling 120 minutes of play against the World Cup winners and holding their nerve through penalties, the England players have gone wild with celebrations. It was Chloe Kelly again who scored the decisive goal after coolly slotting the crucial penalty into the back of the net, following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton. England won the shootout 3-1 after an initial scare when Beth Mead slipped on the opening kick. Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer watched on from the stands in Basel, Switzerland. Fans draped in England flags joined the Prince of Wales and his daughter Princess Charlotte in holding their heads in their hands as Mariona Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up at the end of the first half. But thankfully Arsenal striker Alessia Russo managed to successfully divert Chloe Kelly 's cross into the back of the net in the 57th minute - sending Lionesses supporters into raptures and equalising the score. Sir Keir Starmer has congratulated the Lionesses on retaining their Euros title. In a post on X, the Prime Minister said: 'Champions! Congratulations @Lionesses - what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.' William and Charlotte were pictured in Switzerland for the Euros final as the royal family led the nation in wishing good luck to England's Lionesses. Shortly before kick-off, an image of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales 's X account with the caption 'let's go, Lionesses'. The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association (FA), applauded the national anthem as he stood next to Charlotte in the stadium. He was also joined by Sir Keir Starmer and his wife, Victoria. In a show of support ahead of the final, the Band of the Grenadier Guards performed Three Lions on the Buckingham Palace forecourt, while the royal family's official X account posted: 'Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this evening.'

Rainbow Room International creative director Diana Carson joined the backstage salon team ensuring the stars looked their best as they took to the stage at Glasgow Green A leading Uddingston hairdresser once again styled the stars as they took to the stage at the TRNSMT festival on Glasgow Green.

They created a range of cuts and styles fit for the stage on Scotland's hottest weekend of the year, welcoming performers, managers and crews at the busy three-day event with a big-name line-up including 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol, Fontaines DC and Amy Macdonald. Diana said: 'I love being part of TRNSMT and soaking up all that festival energy – it's such an inspiring experience. 'This year, there was a real throwback vibe with Oasis-inspired looks like textured crops and soft mod shapes. Bringing those trends back to the salon and adapting them into something our clients in Uddingston can wear every day is always so exciting.' She teamed up with fellow Rainbow Room creative directors from Glasgow, Ayr and Lanarkshire neighbour Jacqueline Curran of the East Kilbride salon for the festival, as well as emerging young talents to run the popular and trend-setting festival salon. Described as 'a long-standing backstage fixture since the festival's inception', it is located beside the performers' dressing rooms and was 'a constant hub of energy throughout the weekend' as stars and their teams queued up for creative styles. The Rainbow Room team said: 'The team delivered expert cuts and styling to withstand the summer heat and humid temperatures, while setting the tone for festival hair trends right at the peak of the season' – including more Oasis-inspired looks and 'disconnected fringes and hair full of lived-in, natural movement. 'Now those cutting-edge festival trends are making their way back to Rainbow Room International Uddingston so clients can book in and capture a little TRNSMT magic for themselves.' * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
