The series opens with Northern Irish indie favourites Two Door Cinema Club on 26th June, celebrating the 15th anniversary of their beloved debut album Tourist History. The band will perform the record in full alongside a selection of their biggest hits. They’ll be joined by special guests The Vaccines performing their debut album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? in full, plus appearances from alt-pop artist James Marriott and indie rock outfit The Royston Club.

The following day, Irish rap trio Kneecap will deliver their biggest headline show to date. Known for their incendiary live performances and bilingual hip-hop, the group will be joined by a stacked line-up including The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, Biig Piig, Gurriers and Madra Salach, promising one of the standout gatherings in London’s Irish cultural calendar.

Legendary Californian punk band The Offspring will then take over the park on 28th June, bringing their high-octane catalogue to the capital. They’ll be supported by Celtic punk heroes Dropkick Murphys, skate punk stalwarts Pennywise and rising punk outfit Destroy Boys, with more acts still to be announced. “Nobody rocks like the UK rocks,” the band said in a statement. “This is gonna be a great day out.”

The following weekend, the concert series returns on 3rd July with Northern Irish alt-rock giants Snow Patrol headlining a rare outdoor London show. The evening will also feature powerhouse vocalist Rag’n’Bone Man and rising indie-pop artist Nieve Ella, with additional names still to come. Frontman Gary Lightbody said the band were excited to return to the capital for what promises to be a memorable open-air performance.

The series concludes on 4th July with a special appearance from seven-time GRAMMY®-winning singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. The influential alternative icon will be joined by British rock powerhouse Skunk Anansie for a landmark summer show.

With legendary artists, breakthrough names and genre-spanning line-ups across five nights, Crystal Palace Park looks set to become one of London’s must-visit live music destinations this summer.

Twenty Flight Rockers @ 100 Club (Adrian Hextall)

Twenty Flight Rockers Make A Triumphant Return To London After 39 Years At The 100 Club

It has been 39 years since Twenty Flight Rockers last played in London, but the wait is finally over. Persuaded that the time is right for a reunion, the band have returned for a short run of shows celebrating the release of Live ’85, the live album originally intended to be their debut release. For those of us who remember seeing them in their heyday, this is a chance to revisit a band whose rockabilly-fuelled energy has clearly lost none of its appeal. I can hardly believe it has been almost four decades since I last saw them perform.

RAYE @ All Points East 2023 (Dnieper Cruz)

RAYE Brings Her Mercury Prize Winning ‘THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE’ To BST Hyde Park 2027

RAYE is set to make her BST Hyde Park debut next summer, joining the 2027 line-up as its second headliner. The South London-born singer-songwriter will take to the Great Oak Stage on Saturday 10th July, with rising star Sienna Spiro confirmed as a very special guest. Further artists are still to be announced.

Lip Critic @ Revenge - Mutations Festival 2026 (Owen Mills)

Mutations Festival 2026 – Friday: From Harp Strings To Bedlam And Everything In Between

Ever since first attending Mutations in 2022, I have described it as a more manageable, densely packed version of The Great Escape. Since the festival condensed into two days, that description has become even more apt. Spanning multiple genres and a good selection of the city’s venues, it is a no-brainer for local live music fans looking to broaden their horizons and discover their next favourite band.

Arabella Lucia Strips Back The Rock And Roll At Yungblud’s B.R.A.T Cave

Beneath London’s Denmark Street, in the intimate, sweat-soaked surroundings of Yungblud’s B.R.A.T Cave, Arabella Lucia trades the full-band electricity of her usual performances for an acoustic set that puts her voice, songwriting and personality firmly in the spotlight. For the self-proclaimed Rockstar Princess, this is an opportunity to reveal the vulnerability beneath the punk-rock attitude, and to show just how much she is developing as an artist.

Desperate Measures @ Hope and Anchor (Louise Phillips)

Desperate Measures Celebrate 45 Years With A Raucous Punk Birthday Party At The Hope And Anchor

Forty-five years on, Desperate Measures remain as combustible as ever. Presented by Vive Le Rock Magazine, this anniversary party at The Hope & Anchor on Saturday 24th October 2026 brings the New Zealand punk veterans together with two energetic support acts for a night of fast guitars, furious vocals and unapologetic attitude. Having reformed in London around a decade ago, the band are now preparing for a homecoming tour of New Zealand next May. First, though, there is unfinished business to attend to on home turf.

Serra Marinheiro Casts A Spell With New Single ‘spells in my living room’
