Much-loved Glasgow multi-venue music festival back for 2025
Headliners Pale Waves will be joined by a mix of artists including Chloe Slater, Do Nothing, Gallus, Soapbox, Sister Madds, The Rooks, The Zebecks, and Vanderlye.
Heather Baron-Gracie of Pale Waves said: "We're very excited to be headlining Tenement Trail this October. My dad was born and raised in Glasgow so I have plenty of family still there so the city holds a special place in my heart. Also Barrowlands on a Saturday night is going to be unhinged in the best possible way I'm ready for chaos!"

Tennent's Lager will return to support Tenement Trail as the official beer partner of the festival.
Max Fraser, Tennent's Lager Brand Manager, said: 'Tenement Trail is a brilliant and exciting display of incredible Scottish music and touring artists and with it happening a stone's throw from our home at Wellpark, we cannot wait to support the festival and see it light up the East End again in October.'
Chae Houston, Tenement Trail founder, said: 'To still be standing after a decade, we're absolutely buzzing and could not be more proud of this year's line-up. The scene is better than ever and our line-up of Scottish artists really shows that. Pale Waves are an iconic headliner, their Barras show will be outrageously good. Cannot wait to see everyone in October!'

Edinburgh Arts Festival film sheds light on invisible Scottish stories
In a year that marks the 30th anniversary since the first major Pride event in Scotland, an attempt is being made to reconnect queer people with the past, as well as bring in voices of other marginalised groups and the languages of Scots, Gaelic, British Sign Language (BSL) and English. The film, titled who will be remembered here, made by artists Lewis Hetherington and CJ Mahony, features four queer writers who have responded in different languages to sites in Scotland spanning ancient to modern history. Previews of the film have already been well received, including from a community group in Glasgow's Easterhouse, who were particularly moved by Robert Softley Gale's visit to the now-defunct Biggar Gasworks. READ MORE: 'Their love for Scotland made my heart sing': George Ezra hails Scottish folk group 'In Robert's film, he reflects on his cerebral palsy and how he's been challenged his whole life to explain what his purpose or function is, so this industrial site – which is built for such a specific function – becomes an interesting tension,' said Hetherington. 'He goes on to talk about fatherhood and actually how that connects to a sense of purpose.' Hetherington said they had been 'bowled over' by the response from the Easterhouse community. 'There were quite a number of people in the audience who spoke up in the discussion afterwards about their own experience of disability, saying they'd never felt so seen and felt really celebrated,' he said. 'We'd be overjoyed if it makes people feel more confident to speak up about who they are and what they've gone through.' Softley Gale's section is in English, while the section from Harry Josephine Giles, who visits two brochs, is in Scots. Bea Webster, who is filmed at standing stones on Arran (below), uses BSL. Robbie MacLeòid visits Fort George, with his section in Gaelic – appropriately for a place that has an oppressive and dark history within Gaelic culture. 'Webster's approach to the Arran standing stones is also interesting as they have Thai heritage and this has led to some people assuming they have no connection to Scottish history even though they have grown up in Scotland,' said Hetherington. The film begins at dawn at Biggar, moves to Fort George, then south of Skye before finishing at Arran in the evening. 'There's this sense of going from most recent past to the most distant as well as from the beginning of the day to the end,' said Mahony. 'The film is very, very beautiful and it is hard to convey just how tender the pieces are and how there's a real intimacy that's created. A lot of people have said how connected they felt, even though it's mediated by a screen.' The pair pointed out that many of the stories of people whose lives have been part of Scottish history have never been recorded. 'It's not just queer people who have always existed – it's all sorts of marginalised voices and identities,' Hetherington said. READ MORE: One-woman play will explore consequences of explosion in extreme sex acts on OnlyFans 'That's how we came to work with four different languages because it quickly became apparent how the languages that are so prevalent in Scotland are often still not considered as part of the mainstream story. 'We wanted to think about how we could address that and reflect a broader spectrum as well as look at the purpose and use of places across Scotland.' The project was in partnership with Historic Scotland. Hetherington said the organisation had been keen to help explore how these stories could be told and create kinship with queer lives who are part of the country's heritage. 'It has been a really significant project for them in terms of a new approach to historical interpretation and we've already been invited to speak at a number of conferences about this as a case study of how to interpret sites, such as the World Heritage conference which took place in Stirling last year,' said Hetherington. A book has also been produced to accompany the exhibition, with 12 writers commissioned to contribute pieces about their queer history. Unlike the films – which are responding to sites deemed historically significant and in Historic Scotland's care – the writers talk about places which are not well known but are very significant to the authors' personal history. 'So we have moments of queer revelation, celebration, or emancipation on mountainsides, in amusement arcades, in libraries and more,' said Hetherington. The writers are Ali Smith, Amanda Thomson, Ashley Douglas, Damian Barr, Ever Dundas, Ink Asher Hemp, Jeff Meek, Johnny McKnight, Lousie Welsh, Mae Diansangu, MJ Deans and Rona Munro. Hetherington and Mahony also contributed a piece. As well as trying to connect people with Scottish history, it is hoped the project can be an archive for the future. 'I think in the context of politics at the moment, it's really important for people to see those intersections of lives and identities present on screen and for those stories to be told,' said Hetherington. 'We hope these voices won't be erased the way they maybe have been in the past.' He said he also hoped people would feel a shared sense of humanity through watching the film. 'Sometimes, when we're trying to look at history in a different way, perhaps through a feminist or a queer lens, people might think it is for a specific audience,' Hetherington said.

'The thing that excites me is the idea that people, whoever they are, will be able to see themselves in Scottish history, challenge or question Scottish history and fall in love with it again.' who will be remembered here is showing every day from August 7-24. It is 30 minutes long, with screenings every 45 minutes, from 10am at the EAF Pavillion, 45 Leith Street. The book, who will be remembered here, will be available to buy from the EAF Pavillion and a special event is also being held as part of Edinburgh Book Festival on August 17.

Desperate Oasis fans in Scotland see re-sale ticket prices soar to £6000 a pair
The sold-out Edinburgh Murrayfield show has seen outrageous fees being charged to purchase gold dust tickets on secondary websites. Desperate Scottish fans who missed out on Oasis tickets last year are now being offered a pair – for £6000. The outrageous fees are being charged by secondary websites for next month's gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The Gallagher Brothers got together for the first time since 2009 for the opening night of a 41-gig reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday night. There was fury last September when music fans discovered ticket prices increasing while they were hanging on the phone to buy gold dust briefs. But while millions missed out on the sale, those seeking to profit from the pent-up demand were scooping up tickets by the score. The website Viagogo has this week been offering seats at the August 8 concert in Edinburgh for £3132 a time. The company admit the face value of the ticket is £462, a mark-up of almost 600 per cent. The allocated area is Section East 11, Row D in the Zone East Lower Tier at Murrayfield. Rival firm Vivid Seats is touting a ticket for £2336 for the final Edinburgh concert on Tuesday, August 12. It's for Section W19, Row J. The rip-off prices were condemned by the consumer group, Which? now spearheading a national campaign against the practice. Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said: 'Tickets to the Oasis reunion tour in Edinburgh sold out months ago so fans desperate to attend face a lose-lose choice between risking the scammers on social media, paying hundreds more for tickets on secondary sites or missing out on the gigs. 'The government has promised to introduce stronger consumer protections for ticket purchases. Which? believes ministers must use this opportunity to put a stop to the touts and introduce a price cap to ensure that tickets can only be re-sold on secondary sites at the original price paid – the ticket's face value plus any fees. 'In the meantime, we'd recommend fans only buy tickets through official resale sites - as this eliminates the risk of being scammed and gives them more protections if anything goes wrong.' The Chartered Trading Standards Institute advised fans who missed out last year to contact their local trading standards department with complaints. Those hoping to buy were expecting tickets costing £150 but were shocked to discover prices soaring to £400. The Institute said fans should have been provided with "all relevant information" before the sale took place. Last year, Sylvia Rook, Lead Officer for Fair Trading at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), said: 'We are aware of the fact that many consumers have complained that the tickets they were offered, after having queued for several hours online, ended up costing substantially more than the originally advertised prices that were released at the end of last week. 'Whilst dynamic pricing is an accepted practice for holidays, flights and taxis, the difference here is that consumers are informed of the price before they decide to make a purchase. In this case, the public were given a price for tickets, and were not informed until they finally got to the front of the queue, that the price had increased.' The Competition and Markets Authority has also told Ticketmaster that it is "preparing to litigate" over potential breaches of consumer law. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Having used regulatory powers 'to obtain evidence from Ticketmaster and others', the CMA found that Ticketmaster sold 'platinum' tickets 'for near 2.5 times the price of equivalent standard tickets' even though they 'did not offer additional benefits and were often located in the same area of the stadium'. In addition, consumers were not told in advance that there were two categories of standing tickets at different prices, and that after the cheaper standing tickets sold out 'more expensive standing tickets were released'. As a result of this, the CMA claim many fans waited 'in a lengthy queue without understanding what they would be paying', a situation compounded by the fact that they then had to 'decide whether to pay a higher price than expected'. Promoters DF Concerts were approached to comment on the £6000 briefs, but failed to respond.
