at Summerhall, plus Kevin Smith is here. Turn to page 15 for all of our coverage.
Also in June, LeithLate pops up with an excellent four-day line-up (page 34), and Glasgow Comic Festival welcomes some super impressive guests (page 37). And we bid a fond farewell to spoken-word favourites Rally & Broad, in their current guise at least (page 40). July means Bey-time, as Beyoncé heads to Hampden, and T in the Park’s back at
Strathallan for its second year (page 23). And nope, we haven’t forgotten about the Edinburgh festivals – look out for our annual Festival Guide (out Wed 6 Jul), weekly Edinburgh festival issues and follow all the action at list.co.uk/festival

We mark the 70th EIFF with a heap of exciting coverage headed up by a Gillies MacKinnon interview. The acclaimed director behind Small Faces and Hideous Kinky has undertaken the task of remaking one of the nation’s most beloved movies. And the festival loved his Whisky Galore! so much they awarded it the coveted closing movie slot. Plus, we look at the live orchestra screening of ET, pay tribute to 70mm film and pick out all the highlights. 40
T IN THE PARK Strathallan Castle plays host to its second T party and the line-up certainly does the trick. We focus on T Break, the Slam tent, Frightened Rabbit and, you’d better believe it, Craig David. RALLY & BROAD Get your hankies at the ready as Rachel McCrum and Jenny Lindsay close the doors on their acclaimed spoken-word night. We talk to them about some personal highlights.
