Farrell steps down as Dublin boss after Tyrone loss

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

After losing to Tyrone in the All-Ireland quarter-final, Dublin manager Dessie Farrell resigned from his position.

Farrell led the Dubs to two All-Ireland titles and five Leinster Senior Football titles during his six years in charge.

After a second successive last eight exit in the Sam Maguire for Dublin after losing 0-23 to 0-16 to the Red Hands on Saturday, Farrell, an All-Ireland champion in his playing days, leaves his position.

He told BBC Sport NI, “I would have informed the county board that this was my last one at the start of the season, and I also made it known to the players that it was always going to end.”

“It was a pleasure to work with so many excellent people, players, coaches, and backroom teams over the years, and I’m very grateful for everything they have done for Dublin football, including some special relationships and fond memories along the way,” said one player.

In his first year in charge of Dublin, Farrell took Jim Gavin’s place in 2020, leading the nation to a sixth successive win under Sam Maguire.

Under his leadership, they then defeated Kerry in the 2023 final to claim their second All-Ireland victory.

Farrell acknowledged that Tyrone’s seven-point defeat was a difficult situation in which to bow out.

A former X Factor contestant is making her Glastonbury debut while splitting with her eight-year husband. According to reports, Lucie Jones and Ethan Boroian are no longer together.

The couple had met each other during their X Factor auditions in 2009, but they have now called it quits. It’s said the duo are quietly going through a divorce and Lucie no longer followers her husband on social media.

According to some, the two relationships have simply gotten too far apart. According to a source, the couple realized they were “young when they married,” and now Lucie’s focus has changed.

Speaking to the Sun, an insider said: “She has been busy focusing on pursuing her career on the West End stage and travelling the globe, they’re moving on with their lives. Lucie’s in a really good place and has already moved on and met someone else and has loved performing at Glastonbury.”

They continued, “Ethan is no longer in the show business, and their lives are going in a different direction.”

For the first time since joining the Worthy Farm festival, Lucie made her Glastonbury appearance. As she prepared for a three-day break, she promised “cool surprises” during the “huge celebration of music and theater.”

She admitted she was delighted when she got the call to be involved. Speaking to the Mirror before the sets, she explained what people could expert from her.

She continued, “When I went there last year, I was like, why is there no musical theater here?” These people would enjoy some defying gravity, I was just walking around.

Many people, in my opinion, associate musical theater with tap dancing and jazz hands. But I don’t do that because of my style. You’ll be a fan of every song, and it’s going to be very upbeat. Of course, there is a little bit of that in musical theater, but there are many other things as well.

And she continued to make fun of her sets. A few of the people I have are playing at Glastonbury, and she said, “I’m going to be joining them” or “I’ll be joining them during their set.”

Continue reading the article.

One or two of them has me very excited about it. They won’t necessarily be musical theater acts, but they’re going to be super cool.

Lucie previously represented the UK in Eurovision. Following her stint on the contest eight years ago she then credited the X Factor for “changing her life”. The series produced a number of stars including winner Joe McElderry, who Lucie still keeps in touch with now. “I’m going to Ibiza tomorrow and I’m going to see Joe McElderry,” she said.

Haim suffer sound issues during secret Glastonbury set as fans praise ‘born headliners’

Although they had left a big sigh about their appearance weeks prior, they had already performed a secret set at Glastonbury on Saturday to the delight of their fans.

Haim took to the Glastonbury stage to perform a secret set but had been dropping hints of their appearance.

The understated performance on Saturday was adored by fans. However, the girl group’s microphones had some issues for a brief period before they were fixed, and they continued with their exciting set. The audience enjoyed seeing them perform on stage.

“The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined! #Glastonbury #Glastonbury2025 #glastonburyfestival @glastonbury,” one wrote, whilst another added: “haim have such a huge crowd my girllsss #Glastonbury.” A third penned: “HAIM will forever have my heart #Glastonbury.”

Fans were reportedly heard yelling “lower louder” during their set as nearby music was drowning their sound.

For the first time since 2022, the American rock band, which includes sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim, has made a comeback to Worthy Farm. They then entered the Pyramid Stage. However, after being previously referred to as their favorite stage, their set on The Park stage this time out was well received.

The band made fun of the not-so-secret slot two weeks ago when they made a radio interview with Jo Whiley. We adore The Park Stage, Lana said. Our favorite venue is The Park Stage, which is why we played The Park Stage for the first time when we first performed at Glastonbury. It resembled a movie, I suppose.

She continued, “It was like, What is going on? ” What brought us here? Additionally, just like you never forget when you first visit a farm. And I believe that this is the craziest feeling you’ll ever experience. However, it was incredible; it is the world’s best festival.

Lewis Capaldi gave a surprise performance to the audience on Friday. Two years after the Scottish singer’s last performance at the festival, he made an appearance.

He found it difficult to finish his set when he was younger. As he apologised to the audience, “Glastonbury, I’m really sorry. I’m a little irritated by myself. Soon after his hit Someone You Loved, the crowd began to sing along.

Lewis, who has Tourette’s and anxiety, announced to fans that he would be taking a brief break from music to focus on his health at the time. So, for the rest of the year, perhaps even, you won’t see much of me. But I hope you’re still up for watching us when I do return and when I do see you.

Fans and well-known faces alike expressed their gratitude for his return. Survive, a song Lewis had just released, made him cry as he began to sing it.

As he paid tribute to the fans who had supported him, he revealed that his only intention was to return to Glastonbury.

Kneecap and Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set probed by police after gig controversy

Police have stated that they are looking into Kneecap’s performance on Saturday afternoon at Glastonbury. Following Bob Vylan’s set, the Irish rap trio took to the stage at 4 p.m. where they were met by a sold-out crowd.

Police have since stated that they are monitoring the stage-from-the-set footage. The comments made by performers on the West Holts Stage at the Glastonbury Festival this afternoon were made by Avon and Somerset Police, according to a statement posted on X.

Officers will examine video evidence to determine whether any crimes might have presupposed a criminal investigation have been committed.

Due to the large crowd size, Glastonbury officials were forced to close the venue before the band even took the stage. Due to the BBC’s decision to not broadcast the trio’s set, it was a blow to those who wanted to see them perform.

Kneecap was a performance on Saturday afternoon on the West Holts Stage (Rowan Griffiths / Daily Mirror).

An on-demand version of the highly contentious performance will be available, but the live performance will not be available. The BBC is providing extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, according to a BBC spokesperson. The festival’s organisers have booked musicians for the event. Our plans ensure that our programming adheres to our editorial guidelines, even though the BBC doesn’t outlaw artists.

We don’t always stream each performance from the main stages live, so we try to have an on-demand version of Kneecap’s performance on our digital platforms, along with more than 90 other sets.

Before the performance, Glastonbury’s managers even informed fans that large crowds were expected. A list of artists who they believe will draw the largest crowds was sent out as a crowd warning.

Bosses stated to festivalgoers, “Kneecap will have a large audience for their 4pm West Holts show. If you don’t want to see them, consider taking alternative routes there. If you intend to attend, please bear in mind that if the field is full, we will need to close it as part of our crowd-planning efforts, please pay attention to the stewards.

Mo Chara, a band member, was recently accused of holding a flag in front of a concert in November 2024 and of having a violent reaction against Hezbollah. As a result, he, who goes by the name Liam G. H. Annadh, showed up in court last week.

On June 18, the 27-year-old faced Westminster Magistrates’ Court as crowds of supporters and musicians gathered outside, including Paul Weller.

The incident occurred following the band’s O2 Forum performance in Kentish Town, London. The band, however, described the investigation as a “witch hunt” for the musician.

The band’s performance at Glastonbury was postponed, and the Prime Minister called for their removal.

However, the band, which also includes JJ O Dochartaigh and Naoise O Caireallain, was still able to perform in court. They said: “For anyone going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on Saturday. We’ll be on the BBC if you can’t make it. The most important thing is that Palestine is free.
