Harry Styles has sparked speculation he’s set to headline Glastonbury next year after leaving a major gap in his tour schedule.

The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker, 32, thrilled fans when he announced this week that he is extending his Together, Together tour into 2027, with Harry adding 25 new dates across 12 cities.

As the full list of cities was revealed, it hinted at a key opportunity for the singer to perform at the iconic Somerset festival, which takes place between June 23-27.

The tour will begin on Friday, April 2 and he will play new venues in the United States and Canada with back-to-back shows at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, AZ, before continuing to Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago till the end of May.

Tellingly, there’s a space of almost a month before Harry takes to the stage in Berlin at the beginning of July, giving him plenty of time to prepare for a gig on the famous Pyramid stage. 

Amid the news, some excited fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts that the star is set to take to the stage at Worthy Farm.

As the full list of cities was revealed for his extended tour, it hinted at a key opportunity for the singer to perform at the iconic Somerset festival, which takes place between June 23-27th 

They penned: ‘What I’m seeing is a nice little gap to headline @glastofest

‘no shows in june oh harry is defo doing glastonbury’ 

‘Harry Styles Glastonbury headliner confirmed’ 

‘Glastonbury is in June, Harry has the whole month “off”. Glasto announce headliners not the artists, and sometimes end of year or in the spring. He can’t announce it, but it could be leaked. He has space for it, is all I’m saying. Can’t believe tickets sell before headliners announced.’

After his US dates,  Harry will then head to Europe for performances in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Dublin before returning home to London for three shows at Wembley Stadium.

The general sale for London will take place from 11am on September 17, while the sale for tickets in the US will take place on September 16 at 9am local time. Presales and on sale timing varies per market.

Each city on the extended run will feature a different very special guest, including Tinashe, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Kylie Minogue, Lainey Wilson and Q Marsden.

Other support acts will include The Womack Sisters, Getdown Services, Caroline Polachek, Feist, LCD Soundsystem, Baby Rose and Tears For Fears.

Amid the news, some excited fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts that the star is set to take to the stage at Worthy Farm

Together, Together launched in May 2026 with 67 shows across seven cities: Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne and Sydney.

Following completed performances in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo and Mexico City, Styles is currently in the midst of a record-breaking 30-night run at New York’s Madison Square Garden, marking his only US performances of 2026.

Harry confirmed he would be adding more shows to his Together, Together tour and will continue performing into next year on Wednesday night.

He emailed fans with a ‘message from Harry’ to share the news that he will be adding ‘more cities’ after his current run of gigs comes to an end.

He will then head to Australia to perform four nights in Melbourne before wrapping up with two final shows in Sydney.

Fans were led to believe that this would be the end of Harry’s tour, which supports his latest album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.

However, he has now announced it will not be the end, which he admitted was something he initially found ‘daunting’. 

Sending fans an email in the early hours of Thursday, Harry wrote: ‘When we decided to do the 2026 tour I knew it would be special but what you turned it into was far beyond what I could have imagined.

‘I love playing music, I love being with all of you and being a part of the love and joy you all create together every night. That’s why I wanted you to be the first to know we will be adding 2027 dates, which  honestly at first I found daunting.

‘Being an artist is the only life I’ve ever known really, I have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to still be sharing these moments with you.’

Revealing that the dates will be announced later that day, he said: ‘Tomorrow’s announcement will be the final cities of Together, Together.’

The next part of Harry’s message concerned fans, as he hinted he may step away from music when the tour does finally end. 

He said: ‘After that, I don’t know what comes next for me, but l know that I’m excited to find out. I can’t wait for us all to keep dancing with our friends. I hope to see you there. Thank you for coming out to see us, and for all the love and support you’ve given me over the years.’

Fans are still slowly piling into the arena 30 minutes ahead of showtime.

There are strict security checks with full body scanners and prohibited items including brollies and booze being taken off concert goers on arrival.

Lucky night one ticket-holders have dressed up for the occasion in Celine t-shirts, brightly coloured outfits and LOTS of glitter. Many fans braving teetering high heels in homage to the fashionista queen.

Pints of beer will set you back 10 Euros inside, a glass of wine 8 euros and a flute of champagne 12 euros. Soft drinks are 5 euros a glass.

Those wanting to splash out, can treat themselves to a memento of a ‘goblets collector, plastic cup for 4 euros.

Be warned queues to the bar are long with fans waiting over an hour to get served. There is no air con in the concourse so it’s thirsty work waiting in line

Anthony Hutton, from County Durham, became a household name in 2005 when he won the sixth series of Big Brother.

He beat Eugene Sully in the final and won the programme’s £50,000 prize.

Consett-born Hutton was 23 when he won, becoming one of the series’ most recognisable housemates in a colourful cast packed with drama.

His win thrust him into celebrity life overnight.

Mr Hutton, now 43, was given a quarter of a million pounds worth of publicity almost immediately after leaving the house, highlighting the extraordinary level of attention surrounding the show at the time.

Like many reality television contestants, Hutton found that life after the programme was very different from life before it.

He regularly appeared on television and experienced the impact fame had on his mental health.

In an interview, Hutton said he had experienced suicidal feelings after the sudden change in his circumstances.

His story has since moved well beyond the Big Brother house.

Hutton later became involved in efforts to challenge the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and suicide.

Anthony later opened Mr Hutton’s Barbers and Bar in Darlington, combining a daytime barbershop with a cocktail bar in the evenings.

He said the barber’s chair became a place where customers naturally opened up about their lives and struggles, with conversations often revealing how many men were dealing with their mental health.

Hutton later launched the Throw In The Towel Project to challenge stigma around men’s mental health and suicide.

Through the project, he shares his experiences, runs free men’s mental-health retreats and encourages people to talk while walking, exercising or sitting in a barber’s chair.

The project’s official website describes its message as one of resilience, continuing to fight and “never giving up”

He has also made occasional television appearances, including a reflective interview about his journey on Steph’s Packed Lunch in 2022.

Today, Hutton encourages men to speak honestly about their wellbeing.

The Big Brother winner now uses his experience to help men speak openly, build support networks and feel less alone.

Celine Dion was overcome with emotion as she made her stage comeback in Paris on Saturday night for the beginning of her five-week residency. 

The singer, 58, who looked incredible in a strapless ruffled black dress, wiped away tears as she made her entrance to an estimated 30,000 fans at the La Plenitude Arena. 

It marks her first run of concerts since she was forced to cancel the remainder of her Courage world tour in 2023 due to a debilitating battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological disorder causing severe muscle stiffness and painful spasms. 

The rare neurological disorder causes severe muscle stiffness and painful spasms and can also result in an unsteady gait, double vision or slurred speech. There is no cure for SPS but treatment can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the condition. 

Celine has performed just two brief times since announcing her SPS diagnosis. 

But on Saturday, the singer fulfilled her dream as she sang once again in front of her fans, in what is a remarkable feat after months of a gruelling training regime.

Before the show, Celine was greeted by fans as she left her hotel.

In homage to the star, fans, known as ‘the red heads’, set up a special candy apple stand in reference to an apple tree statement they made when she revealed her health battle. 

Fans said at the time: ‘We’re not here for the apple, we’re here for the tree,’ meaning they care more about her health and wellbeing than her performing and producing hits. 

The songstress appeared touched by the thoughtful gesture and took the time out to talk to them.

Celine’s intense rehabilitation plan has seen her try out new medication, physical therapy, vocal therapy and immunotherapy. 

In order to ensure she’s physically able to perform, Celine has been working on her strength with 90-minute Pilates sessions three times a week as well as twice-weekly ballet and barre classes.

Her home gym is also decked out with weights, a treadmill and a reformer machine, with Celine revealing her flexibility has increased since she started her new exercise regime. 

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar about her new regime, she described it as falling and getting back up repeatedly, adding that she was proud of herself for achieving something that her body wasn’t ‘born to do’.

‘It is a progressive condition,’ she noted. ‘I don’t like to say “disease.” Disease makes you go like this,’ she said, scrunching her nose and saying, ‘”Kevin, you’re such a disease”.’

Celine laid bare the brutality of the condition in her 2024 documentary, I Am: Celine Dion. 

Yet in recent days she has looked in high spirits while out greeting fans in Paris ahead of her shows. 

The residency will see her take to the stage for 16 shows in Autumn 2026 and 10 additional dates in May 2027.

She announced her comeback in March, with tickets instantly selling out.  

Celine was diagnosed with SPS in 2022 after she faced a flare-up in 2020, at the same time as the start of the pandemic.

For three years she isolated from fans, partly motivated by fears her fans would presume she was living a happy, full life yet still cancelling shows. She also developed an appreciation for nature during this time.

‘I love trees so much, and I had this vision of myself trying to disappear through the leaves,’ she said.

The trees were barren as it was autumn, a visual Celine saw as a metaphor for her own struggles.

‘I was trying to tell them, I’m sorry, I don’t have any apples to give you anymore,’ she said, until a voice told her: ‘But we did not come for the apples; we came for the tree.’

The last time Celine performed on stage was in Riyadh. Earlier in the same year she sang at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

She is now ready to get back to work, even the more annoying bits of being a pop star.

‘Well, girl,’ Celine said, addressing herself but speaking to the reporter, ‘if you don’t want to sign autographs and you don’t want to get yourself pretty and you don’t want to be disturbed because your pasta is going to get cold, you can always stay home. But look at what you have.’

The early noughties were a golden era for Bolton nightlife, with queues around the block, dancefloors full until the early hours and fashions that now feel firmly of their time.

Many of the pubs and clubs that once defined nights out in the town have since disappeared, but the memories live on in these photographs.

With it being Saturday night, we thought you would love a trip down memory lane.

Tim Bryan was presented with Volunteer of the Year at a glittering ceremony at York Racecourse on September 10 for the “extraordinary impact” he has had on the branch.

Speaking on the night, Tim said he wanted to dedicate the award to his “beautiful family and wife”, and all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes with the group.

He said: “I’d just like to pay tribute to the resilience and the determination of all the people that we work with.

“A big thank you to everyone who dedicates their time to volunteer with us.”

In the five months since Tim was elected as chair, he has made a “real” difference to those living with Parkinson’s in the city, leading with compassion and using his dedication to the group to transform lives.

One of Tim’s standout achievements was organising a high-profile awareness and fundraising event at York Station on World Parkinson’s Day.

The event involved more than 40 volunteers, live musical performances, and raised awareness on a large scale.

He has also helped secure inspiring guest speakers for the group’s monthly meetings, which now attract around 70 attendees.

These gatherings offer information, friendship, and emotional support to those affected by Parkinson’s, and Tim has also played a key role in setting up therapeutic classes designed to improve members’ wellbeing.

In addition to his volunteer work, Tim is a full-time care partner for his wife, Lynette, who also contributes to the group.

His nominator said: “Many people living with Parkinson’s now enjoy greater support, friendship and opportunities because of his efforts.

“Tim embodies the spirit of community pride, and I feel privileged to make this nomination for Volunteer of the Year.”

Pressed as to whether his defenders were his biggest area of concern, Alonso added: “We can do better. We need to know that even when we have the lead, a very important part of the game is to hold together, keep the distances, to go intense in the situations to defend, and I am sure we can do better.

Never did I imagine that at 62, the start of my wrinkly-prune stage of life, I would find myself standing at my back-garden gate wearing flip-flops, a grey onesie and a pair of yellow rubber gloves, directing an immaculately coiffured Thai woman to the footpath into town. 

And worse, that I’d be spotted by a troop of local yummy mummies taking their children the back way into school.

At least it wasn’t as embarrassing as that time a glamorous polo-playing Argentinian came down for breakfast horribly early, holding out a pair of my knickers between finger and thumb and handing them to me in the kitchen. I had dropped them on the stairs on my way to a swift pre-breakfast laundry run.

Time was, I’d be in kitten heels and a designer outfit, Louis Vuitton holdall in hand, for a trip to Barbados, to write up a five-star hotel in my then-role as features and travel editor for Country Life magazine.

 Then I became a B&B hostess in my own home, and my red-carpet lifestyle changed from designer luggage to manning the laundry and occasionally sleeping on the drawing-room floor. 

That’s one of the hazards that come with opening your home to strangers from all over the world. Because no matter who is to blame for overbooking, there’s only one option when all your rooms have been taken and a Parisian couple – the wife heavily pregnant – turn up on your doorstep at midnight insisting they had made a reservation. 

Turn them away into a winter night when there is no other accommodation available around? No way. You have to offer them your own bedroom.

The other time that happened was ten years ago when a particularly elegant middle-aged woman who had enjoyed three days with us asked to stay on a fourth night. 

She was well aware we were fully booked, but such was her charm and engaging personality, somehow familiar but which I couldn’t quite place, that I gave her our room while my husband and I bedded down on the drawing-room carpet once more.

Then there was the guest who arrived just before Covid, paying £100 a night, but stayed for a year, including lockdown, when we charged her just for food and bills. 

She was a non-English-speaking, cigar-smoking Chinese divorcee who arrived in a whirlwind of chaos via a booking from a Beijing agency, ostensibly searching the West Country for an international school for her young daughter. She was clearly wealthy, handling cash like a croupier. 

She owned properties in China the size of Somerset, always dressed in couture and was an inveterate photographer.

Commandeering my husband to drive her around all the local tourist attractions, including a 40-mile round trip to Bath to get a humidor for her Havanas, she took pictures of everything that crossed her path, from the smallest thatched cottage to the grandest cathedral.

But he noticed she also photographed the nearby naval air base, the local mainline railway station and the county police headquarters.

Melanie’s double-fronted 19th-century home – and B&B

She stayed so long on the grounds that it was apparently ‘difficult’ to get a direct flight back to China. For some reason, I didn’t question it and we began to treat her as one of the family. 

Gradually, though, we noticed she was trying to take over our home, bossing me about to the extent that some mornings I took to hiding under the duvet rather than get up and face her.

On a rare night when all the other rooms were empty, we invited a few friends over for a kitchen supper, only for her to burst into view and claim our Aga for the preparation of one of her expansive Chinese dishes. 

This could not go on and, after a stand-up row, she finally left. When we later mentioned her ever-busy camera to a friend in contact with the security services, he said, ‘Almost certainly, you played host for a year to a Chinese spy.’

To this day I still wonder how I became a B&B hostess, for it crept up on me, in the same way the smell of coffee lures our guests down for breakfast. 

If I had to pinpoint the date it started, it was in 2006 when I was a single mum, moving from that jet-set London life to the small market town of Castle Cary in Somerset with my young son, Jasper, now 28. I wanted him to grow up attending a country school in the West Country, where I myself had partly grown up. To help pay the bills, I took in lodgers. From there I moved to Airbnb hosting.

It was only when I met my husband, Martin, a local businessman, that I felt emboldened to run a full-on, old-fashioned guest house. 

He is the perfect front-of-house partner, with an infectious affability that bestows a glowing welcome on visitors the moment they enter the hallway, and makes them feel one of the family by the time they have come down for breakfast the next morning.

A top-floor bath (which has a view)

Many guests look up at us fondly from the breakfast table, saying, ‘This is what I can imagine doing when I retire’. However, I can’t stress enough about the strains of turning your home into a business.

Suddenly, your sanctuary becomes public property, every nook and cranny poked into by strangers, your personal possessions on show to the world and your space invaded at every turn. You’re on call round the clock, sheet-changing is a constant chore, and our washing machine is endlessly breaking down under the strain.

It’s also a precarious business proposition. Bookings vary violently. From affluent weeks of having to turn people away can come nail-biting days of waiting for the phone to ring.

And guests are not always grateful. An apparently jovial Dutch couple were stern-faced when they came down for breakfast and demanded a 50 per cent reduction in their bill unless we wanted them to post a hostile review online.

There was nothing wrong with their room, they were just trying their luck, so we called their bluff and refused. 

Then there were the four young women who booked two double rooms but on arrival all four decided to share the same bed. So they were only willing to pay for one room. They were not even the worst offenders. Once we had an entire family of 11 turn up having booked just one room.

A guest room with a bed that can sleep four

For every guest like that, though, there are dozens who restore your faith in humanity. Most people who come through our door are lovely – but it’s easy to forget that when the bad ones make such better stories.

A former senior Conservative MP stayed with us once and, in trying to force open a sash window in his top-floor room, he managed to dislodge the whole thing from its setting and send the glass crashing down on to the terrace. 

Thank god no one was actually on the terrace at the time. The former minister offered no contribution to cover the repairs, but his secretary finally did afterwards.

There also seems to be no dress code for people staying at a B&B.

We’ve had gentlemen turn up in black tie and women in full evening dress en route to a local wedding; tattooed Hells Angels heading for a music festival; and novice nuns returning from an obscure religious convention. 

The most unexpected, though, was the visitor who went to bed as an immaculate businessman and came down for breakfast dressed as a voluptuous woman. The other guests never raised their eyes from their scrambled eggs. We merely asked what name to put on the receipt.

However, by far the most glamorous of our guests was the elegant woman who wanted that extra night. I felt I should recognise her but couldn’t quite place her face. She had registered under her married name, so there was no clue. 

But as she was leaving, there was something about her that made me blurt out, ‘Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like Twiggy?’ To my eternal embarrassment, she gave me a gracious smile and replied, ‘I am Twiggy. Thank you for having me.’

How many people can claim to have shared their bed with a supermodel? My husband does – frequently.

The inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships begin in Budapest across three action-packed days and the men’s 1500m battle, including rivals Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr, is expected to be among the highlights alongside Keely Hodgkinson’s latest battle with Audrey Werro in the women’s 800m.

The new competition, which will bring the top level 2026 track season to a close, sees most of the sport’s biggest names face off across three days of action in the Hungarian capital and there is significant prize money up for grabs.

In Friday’s opening session Hodgkinson, Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol all made smooth progress into the 800m final, while Ingebrigtsen stormed to a stunning win in the 5000m to add to the hype around the 1500m clash.

Here is everything you need to know about the competition.

What is the World Athletics Ultimate Championships?

It is a new concept intended to fill the void in non-Olympic or World Championship years, designed to pit the biggest names against each other for what World Athletics have said is the biggest prize pot in track and field.

What is the format?

The idea is to make it fast-paced and action-packed to keep viewers engaged.

Two semi-finals in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 100m hurdles/110m hurdles and 400m hurdles will feature eight athletes and the top four in each will make it through to the final. The 1500m, 5000m and relays will be straight finals.

All field events will be straight finals. World Athletics say that the horizontal jumps and throws will feature four rounds, with each of the eight athletes guaranteed two attempts.

When does the competition take place?

The event will be spread across three days at Budapest’s National Athletics Centre and will run from Friday 11 September Sunday 13 with three-hour sessions each evening.
