1 MUSIC Beyoncé
Time to get in line, people, as Bey’s Formation tour sashays its way into the national football stadium. On her last global foray in 2013 with the Mrs Carter Show, she was seen by a mere two million people. That’s approximately four million eyes. In short, an awful lot of eyes. Here, we’ll eat our collection of Gucci lace if she doesn’t perform a tribute of some kind to Prince. See Highlights, page 89. Hampden Park, Glasgow, Thu 7 Jul.

3 MUSIC T in the Park
That lovely bit of central Glasgow will be buzzing with life for nine long summer days as it gets taken over by street artists, musicians, foodies, comedians, dancers, fashionistas and a classic car boot sale. Plus there are tributes to everything from the Charleston to Bowie. See preview, page 77. Various venues, Glasgow, Sat 30 Jul–Sun 7 Aug. Year two in its new home and this is a big one for T. But frankly, with the likes of the Stone Roses, Calvin Harris, Annie Mac, the Last Shadow Puppets (pictured), LCD Soundsystem, Jess Glynne, Travis and, oh yep, Craig David all showing up, success is pretty much assured. See feature, page 23. Strathallan Castle, Auchterarder, Fri 8–Sun 10 Jul.
