SPANISH all-girl band Hinds take their joyful DIY pop to Summerhall on August 16, as Nothing Ever Happens Here (NEHH) holds the candle for contemporary music for the third year.
Previously announced are Texan legends Lift To Experience (August 17), a trio who didn’t just redefine the word “epic” with their Bibically influenced 2001 double concept album Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads, they blew the door, the bonnet and wheels clean off. A soul-shaking remastered version is out now.
Also at NEHH in August are Norwegian multiform artist Jenny Hval (August 20) and Charlotte Church, whose Late Night Pop Dungeon (August 25) will be a hot, if slightly soiled ticket for the festival’s final weekend.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
