Jungle opens new Summer festival in Cascais
First up on the line-up are Jungle, the London-based duo known for their electrifying live shows and crowd-lifting grooves. Having graced stages at Coachella, Glastonbury and closer to home at NOS Alive, Paredes de Coura and Kalorama, the pair will bring their DJ set to the dramatic seaside setting of Forte de Santo António da Barra in São João do Estoril on August 16th.
Organised by Gigs On Mars with support from Turismo de Cascais, the festival aims to fuse internationally renowned names with some of Portugal's most influential electronic artists, all in rarely-used, atmospheric locations around the region. 'A line-up that brings together global heavyweights and national trailblazers, in venues not typically used for events in the area,' reads a statement from the organisers released on Wednesday.
Cascais Atlantic Sunsets promises to blend 'local talent' with 'big names from the global electronic scene', offering a mix of rising stars and international heavy-hitters. More artists – along with details of the second unique venue – are set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Tickets are on sale from this Wednesday, with a special early bird price of €25.

BBC ‘needs to get a grip quicker' after controversies such as Bob Vylan set
The broadcaster apologised earlier this month for the group's 'deplorable behaviour' after frontman, Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF' (Israel Defence Forces) during their set at the festival which was shown live on TV and the iPlayer. The BBC also said it will no longer broadcast live performances deemed 'high risk' – as Bob Vylan had been assessed – and its director of music, Lorna Clarke, also reportedly stepped back from her day-to-day duties. Ofcom chief executive Melanie Dawes said on Sunday there could be a risk that the public will lose confidence in the BBC after the regulator previously said the broadcaster has questions to answer over its Glastonbury coverage. Dame Melanie told BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: 'I think it's very frustrating that the BBC has had some own goals in this area, with the Gaza documentary and then with the Glastonbury coverage, and it does start to erode public trust and confidence. 'I think I would say that, above all what frustrates me and others, is that when these things go wrong it can take a long time for the BBC to see that something's happened when everybody else was there within a matter of hours. 'So I would say to the BBC I think they need to get a grip quicker, get these reports and investigations concluded sooner, otherwise there is a real risk of a sort of loss of confidence in the BBC, which is a shame.' Melanie Dawes made the comments on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (Jeff Overs/BBC/PA) The BBC has been approached for comment. Dame Melanie spoke ahead of a BBC review into the documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone after it emerged its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. The corporation issued an apology after the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury, saying: 'We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. 'We are also unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at, or on, the BBC. It said it was 'clear that errors were made' as it set out the timeline of the decisions made over it broadcast, adding: 'Bob Vylan were deemed high risk following a risk assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury. 'Seven acts including Bob Vylan were included in this category and they were all deemed suitable for livestreaming with appropriate mitigations. 'Prior to Glastonbury, a decision was taken that compliance risks could be mitigated in real time on the livestream – through the use of language or content warnings – without the need for a delay. This was clearly not the case.' Bob Vylan came under fire for chants during their performance on the West Holts Stage (Yui Mok/PA) It added: 'Given the failings that have been acknowledged, we are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast. We will not comment further on those processes at this time. 'Any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live.' The BBC has also promised to take action to 'ensure proper accountability' and issued an apology to viewers, especially the Jewish community. Avon and Somerset Police have also launched an investigation into comments made during the group's West Holts Stage performance. The group was already under a police investigation for comments made at a concert a month before Glastonbury. Video footage appears to show Bobby Vylan at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' The group issued a statement claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset Police began its investigation. Formed in 2017, Bob Vylan are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class.

Fresh blow for Geri Horner after husband Christian is sacked from F1's Red Bull
GERI Horner is facing another upsetting blow following her husband Christian's sacking from F1's Red Bull. The team principal's sudden dismissal comes a year on from his sexting scandal with an employee. 2 After The Sun told how it's claimed to have prompted Geri to make a decisive move about their future, it's now been reported the Spice Girls ' book company is in £1million debt. The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year. Geri set up the firm in 2021 and launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen two years later. In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire. There are no such concerns withher main company, Won-derful Productions, which earned £2.16m in 12 months. Geri also has a jaw-dropping £440million net worth between her and Christian. When Christian's sexting scandal was exposed in February last year, Geri put on a very public show of support for her husband - despite it reportedly leaving her "heartbroken" and "utterly humiliated". She was by his side for the beginning of the Formula One season in Bahrain, with the couple pictured hand in hand, cuddling and even seen sharing an intimate kiss before the race. But behind the scenes it seems she had already subtly started to focus on herself and cultivating her own brand, separate from her racing boss husband. We revealed last year that the singer had begun using her maiden name for penning her children's books. At the time Geri attempted to dismiss any meaning behind the name change, telling The Sunday Times: 'That's a load of c**p. It's my writing name. "I haven't legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport." But the bombshell news of Christian's Red Bull sacking yesterday has reportedly prompted Geri to speed up her plans to claw back her own identity. It comes amid Geri's hopes of a Spice Girls reunion for the girlband's 30th anniversary next year. A source revealed: "She's totally focused on her writing career with kids books and is trying to get the series made into a film. "Meetings in Hollywood have happened and she's really pushing that. She'll have her head down and be focused on trying to make more of a name for herself there." Christian was the longest reigning F1 boss after becoming head honcho of the Austrian team during its inception in 2005. Allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him in February 2024 by a female team member were dismissed following a three-week internal probe. He was accused of sending suggestive WhatsApp messages, in texts that were leaked a month later in March 2024. He denied the accusations throughout.
