Kneecap Removed From Scottish Festival Following Safety Concerns From Police
Northern Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap will no longer be appearing at Scotland's TRNSMT festival this July following safety concerns from law enforcement. The Belfast outfit had been scheduled to appear at the Glasgow festival this July, appearing on a lineup that also features 50 Cent, Gracie Abrams, Fontaines D.C., and more. However, local law enforcement had expressed concerns about the band's appearance only last week, claiming that 'there was no prior consultation with Police Scotland before acts were booked.' More from Billboard Shaun Cassidy Gets Ready for the Longest Tour of His 45-Year Career: 'I Felt the Need to Connect with People' 'Luther' Ties 'Not Like Us' for Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart Bono Cheekily Weighs in On Springsteen Vs. Trump Squabble: 'There's Only One Boss in America' 'Officers have highlighted the potential reaction of such a large audience to this band would require a significant policing operation in order to support the delivery of a safe event,' a police spokesperson explained. Now, it appears as though those concerns have resulted in tangible actions, with Kneecap taking to social media on Wednesday (May 28) to reveal they would no longer be performing 'due to concerns expressed by the Police about safety at the event.' 'To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights and hotels to see us play, we are sorry…it is out of our hands.' they wrote. 'Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We've played there many many times, with no issues – ever. Make of that what you will.' Kneecap have since announced an additional performance at Glasgow's O2 Academy for July 8 'to try to make up for' their removal. The trio has also been quick to set the record straight about the specifics of the lineup shift, clarifying online reporting by writing 'Kneecap didn't 'pull out' of TRNSMT – Kneecap were removed.' News of Kneecap's removal from TRNSMT comes after two German music festivals similarly revised their lineups, and last week's reporting of member Mo Chara, born Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, being charged with a terrorism offense by London's Metropolitan Police. Ó hAnnaidh was investigated and subsequently charged for allegedly showing support for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah in historic videos. Both are proscribed as terror groups according to U.K. law, and considered an offense under the Terrorism Act 2000. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18, with the band issuing a statement to note they 'deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves.'

A day in the life of Vogue Singapore's social media fiend—using Apple's iPhone Mirroring function
It's a love-hate relationship that I share with my mobile device. Perhaps this doesn't apply to most folks out there, but the day-to-day job is heavy on the social media front. That means toggling between different apps on my iPhone 15 Pro—think Instagram, Photos, Safari and sometimes TikTok—to tick a checkbox off the day's list. In sum, several hours of the job is spent on the handheld, pocket device—the same one I use to access some personal sources of joy, be it daily updates of the webtoons I read or news of my favourite K-pop groups on X. Apple's already prevalent Continuity features are plenty useful as it is. When I'm on the go, Instant Hotspot automatically kicks in, enabling a swift transition to my iPad Air when I'm on the train. For someone who does her writing everywhere, the Universal Clipboard is a godsend in itself. Of course, the ecosystem allows my Notes app to be synced up across all three main devices: my iPhone, my iPad and the iMac I use at work. But it's really iPhone Mirroring—one of the latest in its long line of Continuity features—which is the real game changer for this digital nomad. 10am : I arrive at the office and make sure the set-up I put in place from the previous evening is all in order. That means both my devices—the iMac at my work desk and my iPhone 15 Pro—have been updated to the latest MacOS Sequoia and iOS 18 respectively. The iPhone Mirroring app now appears in my Dock and I can connect the two devices as long as both Wi-fi and Bluetooth are enabled. A few clicks later and I'm in. This feels like Inception , only instead of dreams, it's a screen within a screen. iPhone Mirroring appears in the Dock with the new MacOS updates. Courtesy of Apple 11am : I'm taking my time to get used to the flow of things. Every time I've got the urge to look at my phone, I realise I don't have to lift a finger. One click and the iPhone Mirroring app reconnects me to my mobile on my iMac screen. I'm still playing around with the size of the screen on my mega-sized iMac screen. The bigger, the better for me, and that can be arranged with ease in the View settings. 12pm : It's time to prepare the second social media posting for Vogue Singapore's Instagram. It's the Cannes Film Festival season, and we're doing a red carpet round-up for the premiere of Paul Mescal's History of Sound . A video of his current beau—Gracie Abrams—is the opener to a carousel of images. With my caption done and images procured from the Internet, it's time to port everything over to my mobile. This usually involves a combination of Airdrop and texting captions to myself. Instead, all I have to do is drag and drop my media from my iMac into my iPhone directly, access Instagram from the Mirroring app, and upload the post as if I was holding my phone right in front of me. Technically, my mobile is right in front of me. There just hasn't been any need for shifting devices, or any seconds wasted in unlocking my phone to Airdrop images. Time is of the essence, and the app gets it. 230pm : We're done with lunch and back at our desks. I notice my mobile is in need of a charge, so I plug it in at our desk's main charging area and let my iPhone rest behind my screen. Soon enough, someone brings up the office's returning question of the day: 'Are we getting coffee?' It's a resounding yes, and it falls on me—the one with a Grab Unlimited account—to get an order going. I swipe to the Grab app on my Mirroring app and start a group order to send to the group chat. No need for any unplugging my phone from the charging cord, or any of that messy business. With a whole ten-metre radius for the Mirroring app to function, I can rest easy knowing I could be charging my mobile on the other side of the room and still interact with my phone from my work desk. Courtesy of Apple 4pm: I get a notification—from my iPhone, but on my desktop—from my language learning tutoring app, Preply. It's my Korean language teacher requesting to change our lesson timings for the upcoming week. I access iPhone Mirroring, switch language keyboards and seamlessly reply to her in Korean. 5pm : I'm accessing X via iPhone Mirroring. I don't usually like looking at the app from my Mac desktop because the screen feels too big and I would prefer for my K-pop shenanigans to not be displayed to the whole office behind me. With iPhone Mirroring barely taking up a sixth of my iMac screen, it's a comfortable size to be checking out what the latest fandom updates are. 6pm: Am preparing for another post that will go up in the next hour or so—when I'm on the way home. Since I'll be posting it on-the-go, I'm dropping the images into my mobile, and making sure my Notes app is synced up so that my caption will be easily accessible on my Notes app at 7pm later. 7pm: I've logged off and left the office, and am using my physical iPhone again. I've just uploaded the Instagram post, and can now do some of the more personal to-dos I've been delaying for a while now. I open my Photos app and use Apple Intelligence to organise a Memory Movie of old photos with Kitty, my feline companion—from selfies to photos of when she was still a kitten. Using Apple Intelligence to create a Memory Movie. A new Memory Movie of my cat. Learn more about Apple Intelligence here and Apple's Continuity features here.
