JADE announced as opener for Chappell Roan’s shows at Edinburgh Summer Sessions
JADE has been announced as the special guest for Chappell Roan’s two sold-out headline shows at this year’s Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
The Grammy-winning American pop singer will perform at the Royal Highland Showgrounds on August 26 and 27, following the release of her latest single, “The Subway” which debuted at #3 on this week’s Billboard’s Hot 100 list.
These concerts will be her largest Scottish appearances to date, building on the success of her sold-out Glasgow O2 Academy show in September last year.
JADE, best known as a member of Little Mix, has established herself as one of the most prominent solo pop artists in the UK since launching her individual career. Her debut single “Angel Of My Dreams” has cemented her position in the charts, and she recently appeared at the 2025 TRNSMT festival.
She is also set to headline her own sold-out show at Glasgow’s O2 Academy in October.
Chappell Roan’s Edinburgh performances come during a breakthrough period for the Missouri-born artist, who has rapidly gained international recognition with her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Earlier this year, she was crowned the Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Organisers expect the addition of JADE to the line-up to create even greater excitement for fans attending the Summer Sessions shows.

US Stocks Set for Gains With Consumers in Focus: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) — US stocks are poised to resume their rally at record highs as traders bet that data on Friday will show signs of strain on US consumers, bolstering the case for interest rate cuts.
S&P 500 futures edged higher 0.1% after a flat session, following back-to-back record closes earlier in the week. Intel Corp. rose more than 2.5% in premarket trading on a report that the Trump administration is in talks to buy a stake in the struggling chipmaker. Applied Materials Inc. slumped after a weaker-than-expected outlook.
Listen to the Stock Movers podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen.
US Treasuries edged higher across the curve, with yields on the policy-sensitive two-year note falling one basis point to 3.72%. The dollar weakened 0.3%.
Economists expect government data on Friday to show a solid increase in July retail sales, driven by incentives that boosted vehicle purchases and a surge in online spending during Amazon’s Prime Day event. However, underlying fundamentals are likely soft, with many consumers avoiding goods marked up by tariffs, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
“In this market bad news are good news,” said Anthi Tsouvali, a multi-asset strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management. “I think investors are positioned to expect that the number will probably be lower than consensus.”
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 advanced 0.2% toward the highest level since March amid guarded hopes that Friday’s US-Russia summit could be an initial step toward brokering a peace deal in Ukraine and thawing relations.
While a deal to end the war in Ukraine is likely still far away, “we do expect some progress in today’s meeting and a path set for further discussions,” said Mohit Kumar, chief European strategist at Jefferies International. “If we move toward a peace deal, it would be positive for the European markets.”
In Asia, shares in Hong Kong weakened 1% after data showed China’s economy slowed in July with factory activity and retail sales disappointing, suggesting the US trade war is starting to weigh on the world’s No. 2 economy. Japanese shares gained 1.7% after the country’s economy expanded faster than expected last quarter.
Corporate News:
The Trump administration is in talks with Intel Corp. to have the US government take a stake in the beleaguered chipmaker, according to people familiar with the plan. Applied Materials Inc., the largest American producer of chipmaking gear, plunged in late trading after giving a disappointing sales and profit forecast. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. bought shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. in the second quarter, sending the health insurer’s stock soaring in post-market trading. Pandora A/S shares slumped the most since April after the Danish jewelry maker warned of weak demand in Europe and uncertainty over tariffs. Some of the main moves in markets:
