2 d. ago Katy Perry review – like being high on Haribo while trapped in a theme park

OVO Hydro, GlasgowIn a fun but frenetic show, the star hangs off props, wears a glove that shoots pyrotechnics and generally distracts from her own energy and charismaKaty Perry’s Lifetimes world tour arrives in Glasgow with a lot of baggage: somewhat scathing takes from its US run, backed up with lukewarm feelings about both her recent sojourn into space, and last year’s 143, an EDM-influenced album controversially co-produced by Dr Luke. Despite this, Perry is still a much-loved star in many camps, with her own brand of kooky iconography adopted by her fans tonight – like J-Lo at the 2019 Met Gala, I also run into a woman dressed up as a burger in the venue toilets. The tour is not the disaster that some have reported, but it does suffer from Perry not allowing herself to have as much fun as her audience are having.The show starts with a video setting up a convoluted storyline: a video game about Perry trying to save the world by rescuing stolen butterflies from AI overlords.

3 d. ago ‘I’m the total opposite to Cav and Brad’: Geraint Thomas on how a normal bloke won the Tour de France

The two-time Olympic gold medallist details the grit and sacrifice needed to succeed and says Ineos are held to a different standard than other teams“I’m pretty laidback and don’t take myself too seriously off the bike,” Geraint Thomas says as, in retirement, the 2018 Tour de France winner reflects on the contrast between his relaxed public persona and his real self. “I think people assume I’m like that in every aspect of my life. But when it came to training and racing I took it really seriously. I did everything I could to reach my very best and always go as deep as possible. I had that determination to perform.”The 39-year-old Welshman pauses as he thinks of his old contemporaries Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins: “Cav was obviously a lot more outspoken. I didn’t tend to tell people what I was hoping to do. And Brad’s spoken recently about how he had troubles in the past while he portrayed the whole rock-star image. Continue reading...

1 week ago The UK’s summer of Oasis is over – but the unity and euphoria it created is unforgettable | Emma Garland

Bringing together people of every generation and accent, the Gallagher brothers articulate something at the very heart of BritishnessEveryone is here. Facebook mums clink plastic cups of frozen cocktails. Dads sneak their teenage daughters to the front of the heaving queue for the women’s toilets, which a girl with large hoop earrings has taken it upon herself to run like the navy (“Go! No time for wiping!”). A man desperately tries to keep up with his drunk-on-a-mission missus by hanging on to her belt loops, while a group of lads with photorealistic tattoos argue over whether to load up on pints or head in to secure a premium standing position. In every direction, best friends of all generations doggedly traverse a packed-out Wembley Stadium, each clutching two pints and a Twix to their chest. Others lean in for group selfies beneath the gigantic digital sign proclaiming “Oasis Live ’25”.The air is a tangle of Glaswegian accents, Rochdale accents, Cardiff accents, East End accents...
