S ummer festival season is here and the words of Beyoncé could not ring more true, especially as we look ahead to Processions (page 38). The mass participatory artwork, taking place around the UK on Sun 10 Jun, celebrates 100 years since the first British women got the vote. Now's the time to gather your banners, scarves and suffragette colours for the big march.
The Edinburgh International Film Festival is back for its 72nd edition with new features, premieres and special events. The much-anticipated Disney-Pixar animation The Incredibles 2 (page 26) will be screened during the opening weekend and, as you can probably tell from our cover, we're a tad excited. There's also a rich selection of Scottish cinema to check out (page 29), with highlights including opening film Puzzle starring Kelly Macdonald, and Almost Fashionable, Travis frontman Fran Healy's documentary (page 22). Elsewhere, we catch up with Wolf Alice (page 47) and Pale Waves (48) ahead of their appearances at TRNSMT which returns to Glasgow Green for five days this year. In other festival news, we give you the lowdown on Summerhall's Southern Exposure (page 44), Fiesta x FOLD (page 50) and the EIF's contemporary music strand Light on the Shore (page 49). Talking of which, August really isn't that far away but don't worry, we've got you covered with our Festival Guide (out Wed 4 Jul), weekly August issues, and daily online coverage at list.co.uk/festival.

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Movie-goers are set to descend upon the capital as the EIFF once again lays out the red carpet on another exciting bonanza of film. There's almost too much for us to be excited about, but we're getting particularly animated over our cover stars, The Incredibles 2. Also attracting our attention is Rami Malek who stars in a remake of tough prison drama Papillon, Travis leader Fran Healy's directorial debut about his own band, and an array of Scottish moviemaking talent.

RIP IT UP The history of Scottish pop music is a long and glorious one, with the forthcoming National Museum of Scotland exhibition singing our praises from the rooftops. The achievements of everyone from Skids to Shirley Manson, and Bay City Rollers to Belle and Sebastian are rightly honoured. FIESTA X FOLD The summer music festival world can often feel like a blokey rock paradise, but this new Glasgow weekender puts the focus on funk, soul, R&B and electronica, and with a strong female flavour to proceedings. Goldfrapp, Laura Mvula, Pointer Sisters and Morcheeba are among the many highlights.
