The ten-show journey is marking the band making it past their 50th anniversary milestone. Shows will continue in September and continue until the beginning of November.

Expert explains why 90s vinyl has become so lucrative
As Oasis return to sell-out stadium gigs and slip dresses with platform shoes are everywhere, it is clear to see resurgence of auctioneer Martin Hughes, a music specialist at Wessex Auction Rooms in Wiltshire, said this has made vinyl from that decade also rise in Hughes said albums from the 90s are "the mot popular with buyers right now", driven by a surge in nostalgia for the decade, he said."The likelihood of finding a Beatles record worth more than £10 is pretty slim these days. You're better off looking for anything released from 1993 onward, even Gloria Estefan, or The Beautiful South - their Greatest Hits album is worth £150," he added. During his career, Mr Hughes has sold an extremely rare Sex Pistols single for more than £20,000 last year and auctioned a record sleeve signed by all three members of Nirvana for thousands of pounds. Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol's John Darvall, Mr Hughes said as well as 90s albums, he has also found gems in unusual places."I was searching through a pile of records sent in, and found an album by an obscure Bristol band called Folkal Point."You would definitely walk past it but it's a £1,200 album because it sold no copies at the time."If you're a folk collector, you start to go after these records that nobody else has got because you like to show them off to your friends," he said. Vinyl has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years, with almost £200m spent on vinyl albums in 2024, an increase of more than 10%."Ten years ago when I started this auction business, we had 13 general auctions a year, now I have 12 alone just dedicated to vinyl," Mr Hughes said. What should you look for? Age doesn't necessarily equal value, or even having things signed."I get unbelievable amounts of emails from people who have signed Beatles albums but so many of them were signed by managers so there aren't that many that are genuine," Mr Hughes said."The better the condition the more valuable it will be, but never write off something that isn't great condition. "In some genres like reggae and punk, which are very collectable genres, it's so rare you'll find them in lovely condition. "I sold two warped demo discs by The Who, they were unplayable and they made £80 each, just because someone wanted to own them."The hottest thing right now is the 90s. I'm 43 so it's my generation, it's the nostalgia buying that drives so many areas of collectables."Oasis as an obvious example, forgetting that they got back together. "They sold tons of records, but nobody was buying the vinyl back then, so unless you were a mega fan you'd get the CDs. "The original pressings of their 90s material for example, their first two albums in decent condition are going to be north of £100 each."

TRNSMT gate opening and closing times and how long you can expect to queue
Festival organisers try their best to ensure music fans are languishing in queues for too long Scotland's summer of music has got off to a stomping start, with Glasgow Summer Sessions already underway, Edinburgh's version kicking off soon with Sam Fender, and a host of top gigs taking place across the country. No one can forget that the country's biggest music festival, TRNSMT, is coming to Glasgow Green tomorrow offering three days of entertainment to of thousands of revellers with headliners including 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro, and Snow Patrol. From July 11-13, bands like Wet Leg, The Script, Fontaines D.C. and Gracie Abrams will also grace the stage. Talk about a line up. And festival heads won't have to wait long to get their performance fix, because the spectacle is just two days away. Those who have been counting down the days will be happy to hear that they will be able to enjoy listening to a variety of their favourite artists in the glorious sunshine this weekend as mercury levels are set to rise as high as 28C. Glasgow is predicted to be hotter than Tenerife, so festival-goers will need to make sure they stay hydrated and slathered in sun cream as the city is hit with a mini heatwave. Aside from that, if you're thinking about how to get to and from the event, what items are banned from the grounds, expert tips for preparation and recovery, and how safe the festival actually is, we have you covered. The Record has provided answers to the majority of these questions, as well as providing the food and drink vendor list for 2025 - from stuffed cookies to Indian street food - and outlining where you can watch it on the small screen. But what about the gate opening and closing times? And how long will attendees be expected to queue? When do TRNSMT gates open? TRNSMT festival gates open at 12pm (noon) each day. Last entry to the festival is at 21:30 (9:30pm), and the event curfew is at 23:00 (11pm). The VIP area will be open until midnight. Lucky for some! It is recommended to download the official TRNSMT app for stage times throughout the weekend. This will ensure you don't miss your favourite acts while chatting with pals at a food truck or riding the Big Wheel. In terms of queueing, that can't really be determined ahead of time, as it all depends what's happening on the day. There might be hold-ups or incidents that require the line to move a little slower for health and safety reasons. This will all be explained to you by the onsite staff, who will be working to get people in as quickly as possible. In the past, some attendees have reported waiting "hours" to enter the grounds. These long queues have been a source of frustration for some, particularly on hot days, with concerns raised about safety and lack of organisation. In 2022, TRNSMT goers described being left in queues "for hours" as they tried to get into day two of the festival. One woman told the Daily Record she feared someone was going to get hurt as the queues got bigger. At the time, a spokesperson for TRNSMT acknowledged the "longer than average waiting times," assured welfare teams were handing out water to those queueing and were "doing their best to get everyone through security".
