The controversial star, 36, is set to Go Crazy at Hampden tomorrow
GLASGOW is bracing for chaos as R'n'B bad boy Chris Brown rolls into town — and fans heading to Hampden by car have been warned: expect road closures and delays.
The controversial star, 36, is set to Go Crazy at the Mount Florida stadium tomorrow (July 1), but city chiefs say restrictions kick in tonight (June 30) around the venue.

Brown, on his Breezy Bowl XX Tour, is no stranger to headlines — and not always for the right reasons.
Women's rights campaigners have blasted the decision to let the convicted domestic abuser play Hampden, pointing to the recent controversy where Irish rap group Kneecap were booted from TRNSMT.
The singer was famously sentenced to five years' probation and community service for the brutal 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend and pop sensation Rihanna.
And he's still making court appearances — most recently accused of a bottle attack in a London nightclub last year.
He denies the charge and is currently on bail.
Despite the backlash, it's all aboard for fans — with ScotRail laying on extra trains and carriages between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida to cope with the crowds.
It comes as Scots singer Lewis Capaldi announced new gigs later this year.
The 28-year-old revealed he will embark on a UK & Ireland Arena Tour for September 2025, with dates in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, Dublin.
The gigs mark a triumphant return to the stage for the West Lothian singer who retreated from showbiz in 2023 following struggles with his mental health.
Capaldi took to the stage at Glastonbury this weekend for an emotional return, where he told the crowd 'Second time's a charm on this one.
'I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish last time.'
Capaldi, who has Tourette's, last performed at the famous festival in 2023 in what would prove to be his last time on the stage for two years.
In front of thousands, he lost his voice and experienced pronounced tics.
In the end the crowd stepped in to help him finish the song, Someone You Loved, in an emotional gesture.
He told the crowd then: "Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself." Before disappearing from public life for two years.
Roads affected by closures and delays are:
Prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading from 6pm (June 30) until 11:59pm (July 1)
Calder Street between Polmadie Road and Aitkenhead Road
Polmadie Road between Aitkenhead Road and Siding Lane

Bob Vylan banned from US over 'hateful' Glastonbury outburst as visas revoked
Bob Vylan has had their US visa application rejected following their Glastonbury set. The duo caused controversy when they performed over the weekend at Worthy Farm as they started chants of "Death to the IDF." They were set to perform in America later this year, yet their visas have now been rejected. United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said on X: "The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. "Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country." The band, who were set to tour the US in October, have been highly criticised for the messages in their set over the weekend, as they performed before Kneecap. Bob Vylan's performance was aired live on the BBC at the time, but the corporation have since said they have no plans of putting it on iPlayer. The US ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens said the actions of Bob Vylan at Glastonbury were 'a disgrace'. He said: 'The anti-Semitic chants led by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury were a disgrace. There should be no place for this hateful incitement or tolerance of antisemitism in the UK.'

Bob Vylan's bizarre rise to fame…from making music on Playstation to sick ‘kill the Queen' rant & vile fan threats
WITH their vile chants of 'death, death to the IDF' at Glastonbury this weekend, punk-rap duo Bob Vylan left thousands of music fans across the country appalled. The stunt - referring to the killing of the Israel Defence Forces - has been slammed as 'appalling hate speech' by the Prime Minister that risked 'inciting violence'. 8 Bob Vylan sparked fury at Glastonbury with their 'death to the IDF' chant Credit: PA 8 Frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster is yet to apologise for his actions Credit: Instagram 8 Bob Vylan played before Irish group Kneecap Credit: Alamy Comprised of Ipswich-born frontman Pascal Robinson-Foster, who performs as Bobby Vylan, and Londoner drummer Bobbie Vylan, the band now face calls for them to be arrested and prosecuted. Arguably festival organisers - and the BBC - should have seen this coming from a band who relish controversy, claim to be 'too extreme' to be signed by any record label and have lyrics including 'kill the f***ing Queen'. Such is the level of violence and hatred in their lyrics that they have been considered "too extreme" for the band to be officially signed by a major record label, so they trade under their own, which is called Ghost Theatre. This meant they hand-delivered albums to record stores personally and booked their own shows before landing success and touring with Biffy Clyro and Offspring, and performing at Reading and Leeds festivals in 2021. 'Everyone is here bigging up Atlantic, bigging up Warner - f*** that! Big us up, because we did it without a major label budget,' Pascal said in 2022. Anti-monarchy, anti-British and pro-Palestine, Bob Vylan has proudly declared in the past how "trying to wind people up" is one of the few ways to 'derive enjoyment from living in this country'. 'If I can just say a thing and you'll get upset then that feels like a small victory and I'll print it on a T-shirt and wear that T-shirt every day,' Pascal told Tribune Magazine in 2022. In the wake of their Glastonbury set, which has received widespread condemnation including from Emily Eavis, who claimed it "very much crossed a line", Pascal shared a smirking snap of himself captioned: 'While zionists are crying on socials, I've just had late night (vegan) ice cream.' Since forming in 2017, Bob Vylan - who perform under stage names to maintain privacy in the face of what they call a "surveillance state" - has revelled in stirring up anger with controversial messaging and lyrics, and even threatened violence against their own fans. Pascal - who previously performed as 'Nee-Hi' in grime group Ear 2 Da Street in his early teens - has claimed he was inspired by his 'boring' childhood in Ipswich.

Around a decade ago he went vegan. Pascal characterises his angry, resentful lyrics as "a reflection of the anger from systemic mistreatment", according to The Guardian, with the struggles of being a black man in Europe a recurring theme in the band's repertoire. He claimed he was seven years old when he was first called the N-word and described the violence his "bredrin were surrounded by" as a teenager. In We Live Here, Pascal rapped: 'Neighbours called me 'n*****', told me 'go back to my own country'; Said since we arrived, this place has got so ugly; But this is my f***ing country and it's never been f***ing lovely.' He also claimed to suffer at the hands of a cruel landlord when he was a young dad - 'a baby with a baby' - stuck living in dangerous housing conditions. 'It was cold, it was damp, the windows were not double glazed, there was mould,' he told The Guardian. 'The extractor fan caught fire when we were not home and there was a fire in the flat. Came home and whole place was black; everything smelled like smoke. 'And the landlord couldn't give a f***. My partner got pneumonia during the pregnancy because of it. And he just didn't care.' Vile 'kill the Queen' chants Pascal raps there is 'nothing great' about Great Britain in the 2024 track Makes Me Violent, and sickeningly called for the late Queen's death in the band's 2020 release England's Ending. The vile lyrics read: 'This country's in dire need of a f***ing spanking, mate; Look it over, get the f***ing dinosaurs out; Yeah, and kill the f***ing Queen; She killed Diana, we don't love her anyway.' Their anti-monarchy stance is also evident on the track Reign, where Pascal raps: 'Got a message for the thieves in the palace, we want the jewels back." The band - who do not cite Jewish singer-songwriter Bob Dylan as a musical influence - is also known for leading 'f*** the government' chants at gigs and regularly taking pops at politicians and public figures. Lyrics include: 'let's go dig up Maggie's grave and ask her where that milk went' - in reference to ex-PM Margaret Thatcher's decision to end free school milk for kids over seven back in 1971. The band has also cited the cost of living crisis and escalating London rent prices, including in track GYAG with the words: 'Landlord just raised your rent, better get yourself a gun.' Threatening fans 8 Bob Vylan at the NME Awards in 2022 Credit: Getty At times the band's vitriol has spilled over during performances with fans becoming the target. In 2021 gig-goer Sarah Corbett claimed she was verbally abused by Pascal and feared retribution in a petty row over an ice cube. She told the Norwich Evening News: 'We were all having fun on the dance floor. I'd put an ice cube down my friend's top for a laugh. "Another girl then threw it at her friend, but it missed and landed at his feet. At that point he stopped the gig and demanded to know who had thrown it.' Sarah took the flack for the incident and Pascal, who was wielding a baseball bat, lashed out at her and later refused to apologise. 'He started abusing me through the microphone,' she recalled. 'As I tried to leave, one of his fans tried to grab me by the throat." Onlooker Mark Evans backed-up her claims, calling it a 'horrible, bizarre rant… all over an ice cube' that led him to conclude the musician's 'credibility has gone'. [Pascal] started abusing me through the microphone...

'But I tell you what buy a ticket to the show at The Ritz and I'll f***ing meet you outside side and punch you outside you d***head.' The band has also channelled frustration toward other musicians for not jumping on their activist bandwagon - particularly when it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Pascal told NME in 2023: 'It's a cowardly f***ing thing. So f*** IDLES, f*** Sleaford Mods. 'And f*** every single one of those f***ing apolitical bands that don't want to f***ing speak up when there's something a little bit iffy, a little bit touchy, a little bit sensitive [because they have] got a f***ing bulls*** album to sell. 'F*** that. We can't f***ing respect that at all. F*** them.' But their recent Glastonbury stunt could prove a step too far. US website The Daily Caller reported that Donald Trump's administration is now looking into visas obtained by Bob Vylan for a 16-date tour of North America. 'The US government will not issue visas to any foreigner who supports terrorists,' a senior State Department official said, suggesting it could be revoked. Glastonbury Festival organisers have also distanced themselves from the band, insisting the event was 'no place… for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence'. But Bob Vylan remains unapologetic; today Pascal shared footage regarding the Palestine conflict and called for more action, claiming it is 'incredibly important' to inspire future generations of activists in spite of the 'suffocation of adult life'. 'Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organising online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered,' he wrote. 8 Pascal waving a Palestinian flag at Glastonbury Credit: PA 8 The rapper has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine for years Credit: Instgram/bobbyvylan
