We'll leave you today with that most pressing of questions.

Scroll back down for all the gossip backstage at TRNSMT and Finsbury Park this weekend, plus The 1975's new album sounds like a real family affair, Liam and Cheryl are no more (they haven't ceased to exist, but they have split up) and an arty award for Stormzy.

Before we go, we reckon that Harry Styles has reached peak flare in this picture of him and his band in Chicago at the weekend.

We know that Harry favours the wider leg on his troos but has he shot too far this time?

Below is his boot-cut phase, which was preceded by his One Direction skinny look.

Here's the real question, are Harry's trouser legs reacting directly to his career trajectory?

Here is a picture of what may or may not be Harry's tailor working on his next set of bell bottoms

We don't strictly give away prizes here on MNL but if we did, the best dressed rockstar of the weekend award would surely go to 'Howlin' Pelle Almqvist of The Hives.

Just look at those shoes.

The Swedish rockers were one of the many "friends" at the Queens of the Stone Ages and Friends festival in London's Finsbury Park on Saturday.

"It was a good crowd and dare I say, we were even better," boasted Pelle.

Listen above as he told us the key to smashing a festival set (and outfit), how he once played in a "proto reunited Stooges" lineup with another of Saturday's main attractions, Iggy Pop, and how he usually spends his New Year's Eve with a certain other flame-haired rock star.

BBC 6 Music

The electro-pop band (with a bit of a darker edge) are back later this year with a new album.

They've already given us a taster with The Animals, which you can hear below.

Helen and Daniel from the band stopped by to tell 6 Music's Liz Kershaw about how they came back together given that the band currently lives all over the world.

Helen's in Glasgow, Dan's in Sao Paolo, Brazil while others are in Chicago and London.

"Its refreshing, we've got lots of ideas and new music, it's good times," said Helen.

Listen above.

The Scots singer has been installed as the Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University.

She posed in her finest bonnet and gown for the ceremony and was even presented with a poem, written by the Scots Makar - Scotland's equivalent of the poet laureate, Jackie Kay, which you can read below.

Congrats Annie... sorry Chancellor Lennox.

Aside from all the great rock/pop music going on in sunny fields across the country this weekend (TRANSMT, Finsbury Park etc) there was also a classical rave taking place in Manchester.

Hacienda Classic - the collaboration between former Hacienda DJs Mike Pickering and Graeme Park, with the Manchester Camerata Orchestra, external - brought their award-winning show (in all its shape-throwing glory) to the city's Castlefield Bowl.

Orchestra CEO Bob Riley told Music News LIVE they hope to "keep developing the amazing buzz that is Hacienda Classical", as well as moving into different genres like Motown and Northern Soul and tackling other areas, including International Women's Day, mental health and the Partition of India.

Bob said: "The enthusiasm from new audiences and array of supporters has been overwhelming, much appreciated, and makes us optimistic about the opportunities and challenges as we continue to bring orchestral music to more people – 130,000 this last year."

Last month, ahead of the Classic Brits, composer Alexis Ffrench gave his thumbs up to the DJ/orchestra crossover that is helping to popularise orchestral music but argued there are "even more interesting ways" of bringing the classics up to date in a bid to make the genre less "hierarchical" and "complacent."

Bob, however, believes that this is already happening and prefers take a more optimistic approach.

"For me, 'complacent' and 'hierarchical', is not accurate or helpful language for anyone: artists, audiences, festivals or venues" he added.

"Whilst I do understand his (Ffrench) point, I don’t believe it’s a new one and honestly, I think Alexis misses a critical point that there are so many artists, orchestras and ensembles already doing what he says needs to improve.

"I understand there is a more negative connotation of course - i.e class and racial divides - and rules about what you can and can’t do, but it’s important to understand there are plenty of organisations succeeding at overcoming these outdated barriers.

"These, and many more are evolving, pushing the boundaries, as we have done with Hacienda Classical and will do with PROSE [Salford-based acoustic hip hop band]; they are doing it in their way, with their own communities, and that’s what will bring positive lasting change."

The singer has unveiled a snippet from a new song called simply, Elvis, taken from a new documentary about the music legend.

The King was directed by Eugene Jarecki and follows him as as he travels in a 1963 Rolls Royce, once owned by Elvis Presley, to cities across America, including Tupelo, Memphis, New York and, of course, Las Vegas.

Listen above for Lana and her mournful tribute to the star.

...is probably a question that most of you will never have to ask anyone.

Yet if you are at all curious, here's how artists like Wolf Alice, Declan McKenna and James Bay answered at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow at the weekend.

Bet none of them asked for sunblock - it's never normally that sunny in Glasgow.

Well, according to a think tank on the festival industry, roughly 23,500 tonnes of waste are produced annually, external at UK music festivals.

Of that, around a third is recycled, while the rest goes into landfill.

While many events are making steps to go green, cutting back on plastics, leftover waste and even glitter, UK audience numbers hit nearly four million in 2016, external, so it's an issue that could only get worse.

Check out Reality Check's look at the biggest environmental impacts of festivals and what's being done to combat them.

Canadian rapper Smoke Dawg has been shot and killed in Toronto.

Tributes have been paid to the 21-year-old on social media following a triple shooting outside a club on Saturday night.

"I wish peace would wash over our city," Drake wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of the fledgling artist, whose real name is Jahvante Smart.

"So much talent and so many stories we never got to see play out. Rest up Smoke," he said.

British star Giggs (pictured top left with Smoke Dawg) added: "My little bro man. May God bless you my brother."

The grime star is going from strength to strength in 2018, being trumpeted on stage by a band in full heraldry at the weekend to accept the pop trophy at the South Bank Sky Arts awards.

His award was presented to him by author and former Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman.

"I cant tell you how much I admire this man," she said.

Stooping down to speak into the mic, Stormzy said: "I guess this make me an official pop star now?!"

He asked fellow nominee, rapper Loyle Carner: "Are we pop stars bro? Almost, one day..."

Paying tribute to another former winner at the awards - which have been running since 1996 - the late David Bowie, he added: "To be mentioned in the same breath as an artist like that, hopefully I'm doing something right."

The awards will be shown on Sky Arts on 4 July.

As well as being a sweltering weekend of rock 'n' roll action in Finsbury Park with Liam Gallagher and QOTSA, there was also plenty of World Cup action going on.

Backstage an international array of acts - including The Hives, Hinds, Dream Wife and Hey Charlie - were discussing who they thought might win big in Russia.

We knew Liam was good but can he really lift the trophy all by himself?

Watch above.

The 1975 singer's dad, actor Tim Healy (if you're old enough, you may remember him from the comedy series Auf Weidersehen, Pet) has tweeted that a song he wrote will be on the band's next album.

The band have already shared Give Yourself a Try, from their upcoming third album.

Matty Healy has said they have two albums in the works, the second of which could be released in May 2019.

So we're not sure which album the song will be on.

Is he singing lead or backing vocals, that's the question? Looks like Matty's got his back.

The Mozfather has postponed all his forthcoming UK and European tour dates in July due to "logistical circumstances", his management have confirmed.

On Friday we told you how the singer's manager had hit back over an anti-racism protest party that had been planned to coincide with his now cancelled gig in hometown Manchester on Sunday.

The protest, organised by former Hacienda DJ Dave Haslam, comes in response to Morrissey's increasingly right wing comments in the press over recent months, regarding the likes of English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson, For Britain founder Anne Marie Waters and Adolf Hitler.

Despite the cancellations, the One Nation Under a Groove shindig will still go ahead and Haslam has promised to give fans with Morrissey tickets 2-4-1 cocktails on receipt of an unused ticket.

Morrissey's gigs will apparently be rescheduled, so fans must now choose between hanging on to their ticket and a mohito/manhattan/cosmopolitan with Dave and co.

LG's old rock 'n' roll partner in crime, Richard Ashcroft, played a surprise four-song solo acoustic set ahead of the Mancunian’s biggest ever solo headline show to date in Finsbury Park on Friday night.

The Wigan-born singer played stripped-back versions of hits from The Verve’s 1997 album Urban Hymns as the sun began to set over north London.

Both singers recently supported The Rolling Stones at separate events in London and Manchester.

"Thanks for coming out today - how good was Richard?" beamed Liam, who dipped into the archive himself by treating fans to a rendition of the Oasis B-Side D’yer Wanna Be a Spaceman for the first time since 1996.

And of course, despite the hot summer's evening, Gallagher Jr - who only a few weeks back tweeted his ongoing appreciation for Ashcroft - went full parka.

Many fans, however, were left queuing for hours for drinks on the hottest weekend of the year.

Festival Republic, who organised the events tweeted that punters “deserved a better bar service”, linking to a statement from the Workers Beer Company.

The statement read: “Here in Finsbury Park on Friday and Saturday there was unprecedented failure of up to 40 % of our staff to turn up. As a consequence people had to wait an unnecessarily long time to be served. For this we unreservedly apologise to the audience.

"So that it’s clear neither Liam Gallagher nor Queens Of The Stone Age should bear responsibility. They both delivered awesome gigs to awesome fans, that deserved better service from our bar operation.

"This is also the case for Festival Republic who have no responsibility for us letting down the audience and we have already apologised to them."

Many in attendance over the weekend believe the company are simply "passing the buck".
