Billie Eilish Glasgow fans camping out at Hydro ahead of tonight's gig
Fans have been queing up in the early hours of Monday morning ahead of Billie Eilish taking to the stage at Glasgow hydro tonight, July 7. The Birds of Feather singer is also set to play on Tuesday, July 8 as part of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.
Taking to social media to share a snippet of fans already gathered in Glasgow's OVO Hydro tunnel, there was a number of fans sprawled out on the ground at 1.25am. Some had even set up tents as they waited patiently ahead of tonight's show.
However some weren't impressed, as they took to the comments of the TikTok to complain. "Camping is honestly so selfish and unfair for others," one fan fumed.
"What do they do with the tents and sleeping bags when concert starts?," another responded confused. Another disappointed fan quipped "looks like I'm never getting a good space."
However, one fan pointed out, "everyone with ovo live get in 30 mins before you all so i doubt you'll get barricade anyways."
The last time the Copycat singer was in Glasgow she bulk ordered food for her team at Bucks Bar giving them their largest order ever received.
She placed a whopping £1k order, including splurging on chicken wings, in to the venue for all the hardworking crew members after the show.
Delighted Buck's Bar posted on their Facebook page moments after Billie's gig ended. They captioned the post: "BIGGEST BUCK'S BAR TAKEAWAY ORDER EVER!
"@billieeilish knows how to look after her crew! £1000 takeaway order packed up and off to the @ovohydro for all her hard working team.
"Well done to the team at Buck's Bar WRS for supplying the goods and looking after Billies crew over the last few days.
"What a bunch of legends!"
The restaurant shared snaps of staff bagging up and posing beside the huge food order before it went out for delivery. Billie was also spotted out and about in Glasgow on Tuesday before her gig, as she posed for photos with fans outside a vegan restaurant.
The Happier Than Ever singer was all smiles when snapped with fans outside Mono Café Bar in Glasgow's Merchant City.
Following her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? topped charts around the world in 2019, Billie Eilish has continued to climb the ladder of fame.
There have been two more studio albums, 2001's Happier Than Ever and last year's Hit Me Hard and Soft, along with a string of hit singles including Bad Guy, No Time to Die, Everything I Wanted, Happier Than Ever, Lunch and Ocean Eyes.
Along the way she's won nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, three Brit Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and two Academy Awards. She's also become the youngest person to headline Glastonbury.

Britain has always loved nepo babies
Photo by Lodovico Colli di Felizzano/WWD It's like a Mario Puzo novel: the Beckhams are brawling. If you are to take the Daily Mail at their word, David and Victoria 'have become estranged' from the eldest son Brooklyn, who is supposedly trapped in a prenup arrangement with notorious actress-heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham. To add insult to injury, online onlookers have started to make fun of Cruz Beckham, 20, for playing guitar in an indie rock band. 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' asked one TikTok commenter under some clips of him mid-shred. 'Wrong brother mate,' he replied. Perhaps Cruz is right to distance himself from his sibling, who has accidentally become a boogeyman for his downwardly-mobile contemporaries. In 2025, many are struggling just to get a job interview – but Brooklyn has been a model, a hapless online chef, a hot-sauce entrepreneur and a not-very-good published photographer. ('Elephants in Kenya,' goes a caption from his photography book, next to an image of an elephant-shaped shadow. 'So hard to photograph but incredible to see.') Brooklyn is the archetypal 'nepo baby,' allowed to fail upwards because of celebrity parents. 'The entertainment industry has never been a meritocracy,' began the New York Magazine cover story that helped popularise the term three years ago. But the article went on to claim we were living in a 'nepo-baby boom,' surrounded by an unusual number of actors and singers leeching off their famous relatives. When you look at the rest of human history it seems likely that we've just stepped slightly out of a 200-year lacuna. Our modern conception of the celebrity – a unique talent nurtured by press – is relatively new. It most likely began on the Victorian stage with the astronomical success of non-nepo Sarah Bernhardt; Clara Bow, the first woman famed for her non-inherited but natural 'It' factor, came out of nowhere a century ago. Millennia have been spent going the other way. All the major ancient pantheons had twisty family trees; biblical figures in the Old Testament constantly begat other figures. And most world civilisations on record have been ruled by nepo babies, or at least by those who have plotted to depose them. We have had no time to rejig our expectations. It's no longer in vogue to say that our remaining monarchs have a direct stamp of approval from God – but there are few other conclusions to make about our new celebrity class. Minor sightings result in hysteria; red carpets command press cavalcades; props, costumes and personal belongings make big money at auction. Why wouldn't these supernatural qualities pass from generation to generation? The religious have collected sacred relics for centuries; surely the most exciting relic to see, the one bearing the largest volume of original biological detritus, is a living child. Like every great historical dynasty, the Beckhams are doing a public service by moving fact to the more interesting realm of fiction. Ask any casting agent from the world of reality TV: those with enough talent to rise up through meritocracy are too busy grinding on the job to produce any good interpersonal drama. But intergenerational sagas are everywhere in literature because the plots never get old; as Tolstoy said, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. Brooklyn's troubles in the kitchen and on safari have a Waughesque air about them; the battle between the Peltzes and the Beckhams seems to have been lifted word-for-word from the soap opera Dynasty. And we cannot help but root for Cruz, who would probably be the earnest, field-tilling character in a long Russian novel collaged together from the Sidebar of Shame. He will never manage to dissociate himself from the rest. But he shouldn't have to. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe I am not a nepo baby; before becoming a journalist I knew nobody in the industry, although I did once try to stake a Tess of the d'Urbervilles-style claim to literary status after hearing that one of my ancestors supposedly fled Nazi Germany with Thomas Mann. Those of us who jeer at the nepo babies have no idea how romantic and fun it feels to almost be one. We should make fewer complaints and start falsifying our family trees; it's time to operate by the real rules of Qing China or Plantagenet England. All of history is ours to play with.

BBC true crime series unveils 'Bad Nanny' who scammed vulnerable families
Serial con-artist Samantha Cookes assumed multiple identities and made up wild stories. BBC's documentary tonight sheds a light on the true crime case Like an evil Mary Poppins, serial con-artist Samantha Cookes posed as a nanny and scammed families with disabled children - even taking their money for a fake trip to Lapland. Gripping two-parter Bad Nanny (Tues 8th July, BBC1, 10.45pm) rakes over all the shocking details of this true crime case, that saw Cookes assume multiple identities, including a child therapist, an arts teacher and a surrogate mother, to con families in the UK and Ireland between 2011 and 2024. She even posed on TikTok as Carrie Jade Williams, a terminally ill woman and disability activist, winning the sympathy and support of thousands. But when one of her posts went viral, some followers became suspicious and began to dig, discovering her real name was Samantha Cookes, a fraud with multiple aliases and a troubling history. Speaking for the first time, Katie and Luke in North Yorkshire describe how she posed as a surrogate mother, defrauding them of their savings. Mother-of-three Layla describes how she believed she was hiring 'Lucy Hart', a Mary Poppins-like au pair at their home in County Offaly. When Layla became suspicious, 'Lucy' vanished, leaving an ominous note that left Layla fearing for her children. And Dublin mums Lorraine and Lynn reveal how they hired 'Lucy Fitzwilliams' as a child therapist for their disabled children, eventually handed over desposits for a fake trip to Lapland. 'Lucy' also told wild stories, pretending she was the 3M company heiress and was set to marry a pastor. Lorraine says: 'She took advantage of people's trust and their emotions and vulnerability.' Bad Nanny is airing on BBC One tonight at 10.45pm There's plenty more on TV tonight - here's the best of the rest... TRAINWRECK: THE REAL PROJECT X, NETFLIX The Trainwreck documentary series revisits headline-making events that went terribly wrong. This latest instalment recounts what happened when a teen's birthday invite accidentally went viral on Facebook, leading to a full-blown riot. In 2012, a teenage girl in the small Netherlands town of Haren created a Facebook event for her sixteenth birthday party, but made the page public instead of private. Inspired by a love of the Hollywood movie Project X, which saw three high school seniors throw a party that spiralled out of control, Dutch teenagers made the event go viral, and soon thousands of people had RSVP'd. Despite warnings, police and local authorities didn't seem to think that anyone would turn up, so no provisions were made to entertain the 3,000 young people who arrived in Haren. Before long the quiet Dutch town became host to a night of drunken chaos, the birthday girl fled her home and riot police were deployed. If it wasn't true, you'd never believe it… SHARKS UP CLOSE WITH BERTIE GREGORY, NAT GEO WILD, 8pm Wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory is a braver man than most as he gets extremely up close to some scary-looking sharks. Arriving on the coast of South Africa, he says: 'I have dived with a lot of sharks around the world, but I have never seen the most famous and the most feared - the Great White. I'm going to try something that my mum really doesn't want me to do. I'm going to dive with a Great White Shark without a cage.' There is only one place where this is possible, thanks to its shallow waters, which prevent sharks from attacking from below, and clear visibility, which allows the team to see the predators coming. It still doesn't feel completely reassuring. Bertie works alongside local shark spotters, a community-led initiative developed in response to past fatal shark attacks. Their shared mission is to explore how humans and Great White sharks might coexist in these waters. With a cage, I'd suggest… A YORKSHIRE FARM, 5, 7pm As a new series kicks off, farmers Rob and Dave Nicholson pick sloes from their farm hedgerows before turning them into artisanal chocolate. JB Gill takes a trip to the rolling hills of Wales, visiting a farmer who is reaping the rewards from a rather unusual diversification - he's making medicine from daffodils. And on his farm in the Cotswolds, Adam Henson works hard looking after his native pigs, which are some of the rarest breeds in the UK. EMMERDALE, ITV1, 7.30pm Joe is fearful as the harassment campaign against him continues with an envelope containing a blackmail demand for £100,000 being placed in the Home Farm kitchen. Unsure of who else to trust, Joe shows the blackmail demand to Sam, but he's none-the-wiser. When Ross confronts Robert about the missing weed, Robert threatens to cancel the land deal with Moira, forcing Ross to back down. Forced to take Gabby's car to Kammy at the garage, Vinny faces unavoidable questions about his sexuality.
