Battlefield 6 beta start date – everything you need to know about both leaked playtests
The future of Battlefield is nearly upon us, and if rumours are to be trusted, we might have the opportunity to try out the latest title before its official release.
Battlefield 6 is once again making a significant play for the big leagues. Although it hasn't made a substantial impact on the hierarchy of shooters in the gaming world since the days of Battlefield 3 and 4, the franchise has kept plodding along, eventually turning the disaster of Battlefield 2042 into a game that found its footing, even if many potential fans had already moved on by then. Now, the series is back for vengeance.
As the Black Ops 6 Season 5 start date gets underway, Battlefield is vying for attention once more as it unveils Battlefield 6, the latest in the franchise's efforts to bring destructible environments and total chaos within the bounds of realism back into focus. Fortunately for players, there's also a chance for them to get involved early, with leaked details of a Battlefield 6 beta coming even before the Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal to keep players intrigued.
So, how exactly can you get involved in the Battlefield 6 beta? Here's what you need to know about the upcoming closed and open tests.

Battlefield 6 beta leaked start date
According to Insider Gaming, sources have suggested that there will be two Battlefield 6 betas taking place in August, one open, and one closed.
Sources suggest that a closed beta will occur between Thursday, August 7 and Friday, August 8. This can be accessed via Twitch Drops by watching any of the content creators streaming the multiplayer reveal of the game, or by pre-ordering the title.
The beta is then expected to open up to more players for the rest of the weekend until Sunday, August 10. The second beta, believed to be officially an open beta, is reported to take place between Thursday, August 14 and Sunday, August 17.
Without any official confirmation, it's advised not to start splashing out on game pre-orders until these details are announced by EA. However, it's still an exciting prospect that suggests we could have the opportunity to help Battlefield Studios shape the future of the franchise.

Brighton thrill-seeker to attempt to ride 120 rollercoasters in UK in just over two weeks
A thrill-seeking man is to begin an attempt to ride every rollercoaster in the UK in little over two weeks. Dean Stokes, 36, believes he will become the first person to achieve the feat if he can succeed in riding 120 coasters across 32 theme parks in 16 days, starting in Brighton and ending at Thorpe Park. Mr Stokes worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education decided to set up his own YouTube channel as part of his new work and has already seen his videos about his planned adventure viewed hundreds of thousands of times across social media platforms. Mr Stokes, from Brighton, in East Sussex, told his former Google colleague Simon Fasolo, 44, about his plan to travel the UK in pursuit of the aim. And Mr Fasolo, from Perth, Australia, decided it would be a great way to explore the country – despite hating rollercoasters himself and refusing to join his friend on the rides. The two will begin at Brighton Palace Pier, home to the Crazy Mouse and Turbo rollercoasters, and, according to the route map on the website, hope to have conquered four parks and eight rides in total by the end of the first day. Mr Stokes said: 'I've ridden over 100 rollercoasters in around 25 different theme parks across 10 different countries. 'But I still haven't actually ridden loads of rollercoasters in the UK, so I just thought, why not? 'One of the reasons I left the corporate world was to have a bit more variety in the work that I do and so starting the YouTube channel on the tech side was part of that. 'And I just thought, if I was going to make a channel that was completely different to that, what would it be? And it would probably be rollercoasters and theme parks because I'm a big fan. 'I've included every rollercoaster that's classed as a thrill or extreme rollercoaster, to avoid family and children's rides. But we plan to do all of them consecutively. 'As far as I know, I think I'll be the first person to do it – the only person mad enough to do it.' Mr Stokes said he is open to ideas or suggestions from his followers on social media of tasks within the challenge. The duo have booked around half of the hotels, and plan to travel in a hire car, but delays and unforeseen issues could lead to a stressful journey. He said: 'I think it's going to be quite a lot of stress at points, but I'm looking forward to it overall. 'On social media, I realised it was really resonating with people. 'I think people want to go out and have fun and I think that often we are too scared to get out and just do the things that we love, especially as adults. 'There's this whole community out there that loves theme parks, whether they're proper enthusiasts or just people that like going in the summer with their family, and they are now really excited to follow my progress.' He added: 'Someone commented and said it is the UK theme park enthusiast's dream. It might be difficult, so I'll have to decide whether it feels like a dream at the end of it or not. There are theme parks the two plan to visit across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they are planning on driving to Dublin for an extra set of rides in the Republic of Ireland. Mr Stokes is excited to support many of the amusement parks which are run as independent businesses, as well as visiting historic seaside resorts, such as Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which is over a hundred years old. He has asked for permission to film for his YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, and a number of the theme parks have even offered him free tickets. Mr Stokes said: 'A lot of the parks have come back to me and are really on board with the whole idea. 'I need the good summer weather to continue, as I've only packed shorts and T-shirts, and one jacket. But if it all goes to plan, it should be a great trip 'And I'm already looking for inspiration for my next challenge once it's complete – I think the natural next step would be to choose another country and do the same. 'Germany has loads of world world-class theme parks, so we could go and do it there. 'But maybe it could be a country that I've never been to. I know Japan has a few theme parks that'd be cool to get around. But I'll do well to finish this challenge first.'

Glasgow venues rank in top 10 most popular independent gig spots in the UK
Glasgow stood out as the only city outside London with multiple entries Glasgow has been named the UK's leading city for independent music outside London, with three of its beloved venues earning spots in a new ranking of the most popular indie music spaces across the country. Compiled by Betway, the list analysed Instagram and TikTok hashtag volumes, Google review scores, and annual search volumes to determine the nation's favourite independent music venues. While London venues dominate in numbers, Glasgow stood out as the only other city with multiple entries, highlighting its rich musical heritage and thriving grassroots scene. Topping the Scottish entries and coming in second overall is SWG3, a former industrial complex transformed into a dynamic creative hub. With nearly 40,000 Instagram mentions and a 4.5-star average rating on Google, the venue has become a magnet for music lovers and cultural events. It is the highest-ranking indie venue not in London and has built a reputation for supporting both international acts and homegrown talent. Joining SWG3 in the top ten is the legendary King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, ranked sixth nationally and fourth among venues outside London. Known for its intimate setting and rich musical history, King Tut's has been a key launchpad for Scottish artists including Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol. The venue enjoys over 118,000 annual Google searches and boasts a strong 4.7-star rating. With 27,300 Instagram hashtags, the venue remains a firm favourite among fans and musicians alike. The city's third entry is the iconic Barrowland Ballroom, which secured sixth place in spots outside London and eighth in the overall ranking. Long recognised for its electric atmosphere and memorable gigs, the Barrowlands has been a cornerstone of Glasgow's live music scene for decades. With its iconic sprung dance floor and distinctive neon signage, the venue received 11,600 Instagram hashtags, 450 TikTok hashtags, and an impressive 4.7-star Google rating. The UK's most popular venue overall is Ronnie Scott's in London, which pulled in 1.6 million Google searches annually and garnered 47,500 Instagram tags. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

With 45,000 Instagram mentions and close to a million searches a year, the club continues to hold a special place in British music history. Leeds' Brudenell Social Club rounds out the top five, with a 4.8-star rating and 325,200 searches annually.

Lorraine Kelly's makeup artist shares anti-ageing product from Boots for 'dewy' skin
Professional makeup artist Helen Hand said she follows a simple rule when it comes to youthful makeup, and she used a radiant product to keep Lorraine's complexion glowy With a plethora of skincare and tweakments offering solutions to look youthful, Lorraine Kelly's makeup artist revealed a makeup hack that lifts years off one's look. Fans were obsessed with Lorraine's dewy complexion. Makeup artist Helen Hand shared with the ITV presenter her go-to tips to avoid looking old. In the YouTube video, she created a soft glow look for Lorraine using the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation, which is currently on sale at Boots and reduced from £52 to £44.20. She explained: "I always think a good head of hair does make you look young. And years ago they used to say 'cut your hair as you get older', not necessarily. Just keep it soft, I always use that word. Even with makeup, as we get older, you can use any colour but just keep everything soft. If it's hard, it's ageing." Viewers couldn't help but notice Lorraine's glowy look as many people asked: "What foundation have you used on Lorraine in this video? It is really dewy." A second commented: "Please would you show us the makeup tutorial for your face. It's a fabulous look." The Chanel Les Beiges foundation contains over 40% water; it is a fresh, lightweight emulsion with a formula that claims to hydrate the skin all day long and give protection. The polymer, which acts as an emulsifying agent, diminishes the appearance of blemishes and fine lines and fills in visible pores for smooth skin. Lorraine wore shade B30 (medium shade, neutral undertone) and B40 (intense medium shade, neutral undertone), but shoppers can look online and find their match from the selection. The foundation has a delicate, silky texture that glides over skin and forms a layer that is invisible to the eye and imperceptible to touch, like a second skin. One customer shared: "Good coverage without drying out mature skin. This is the best alternative since Channel discontinued Vitaluminier,. Typically retailing which I had used for many years." But a shopper disagreed and said the Les Beiges foundation 'doesn't compare' with the discontinued Vitaluminier as she said: "It does not have the luminosity of your old one." Another embraced the dewy look, sharing: " Natural radiance in a bottle. I have been absolutely loving this foundation and the natural look it gives. It's adaptable with the finish, depending on how you apply it, works incredibly with just your fingers and even more perfecting with a brush. But this will never look too heavy on the skin. People always comment how beautiful my skin looks and ask what skin care I use, my secret is this." Alternatively, Chantecaille's Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation is loved by skincare buffs who want a skin-like foundation with coverage. It is well rated by celebrities like Lisa Snowdon, typically retails at £83, shoppers can take 25% off using code BEAUTY25 to drop the price to £62.25. Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Foundation, £39, offers buildable medium coverage with a natural, radiant glow. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose complex, and patented BixActiv, the base makeup targets pigmentation and helps reduce visible shine and pores. As for the Chanel foundation Lorraine was wearing, it is formulated with Kalanchoe extract, which forms a barrier on the skin's surface, that protects against the harmful effects of indoor and outdoor pollution. The Healthy Glow Booster pigments light up skin with a subtle satin finish, giving an increase of 77% in immediate radiance.
