Scottish rock band praised by Oasis set to play Carlisle in sold-out summer show
A SCOTTISH indie band once named by Liam Gallagher as the 'second best band in the world' (after Oasis) are coming to Carlisle this summer. Teenage Fanclub, formed in Glasgow in 1989, have had a long career marked by both critical acclaim and commercial success. Tickets for the August 31 show at the Old Fire Station have sold out but hopeful gig-goers can join a waiting list via the venue's website. The band's debut album, 1990's A Catholic Education, was followed by The King, and then Bandwagonesque and Thirteen. Gallagher made the comments about Teenage Fanclub when the band shared a label with Oasis in the mid-90s, following the release of their top ten album Grand Prix. Songs from Northern Britain, the band's sixth studio album, was released in 1997 and reached number 3 in the album charts. The band are also a famed live act, and have played alongside the likes of Radiohead and the Foo Fighters during their career.

‘Superman' Flies Into Barcelona With 30 Minutes Of Footage During Warner Bros' CineEurope Presentation
In his first CineEurope outing since adding international to his purview, Warner Bros President of Global Theatrical Distribution, Jeff Goldstein, introduced the studio's show today, capping it off with 30 minutes of DC's July tentpole Superman, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. The start of the footage was similar to what exhibition saw at CinemaCon in April (which director James Gunn also dropped online during that week), but went well further in an exclusive reveal today. It was teed up first by a local musician playing the iconic theme on stage with an electric guitar, and then in a video from DC chiefs Peter Safran and Gunn. The duo wasn't here in person as the team is embarking on a global tour today, starting in the Philippines.
