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.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

Metallica Double Up For A No Repeat Weekend At London Stadium

It’s the first weekend in July and The Metal has taken over Westfield Stratford. Friday evening shoppers mingle with sweaty black clad rockers, because Metallica have brought their No Repeat Weekend M72 tour to this corner of East London. Now into it’s fourth year, the final weekend of this tour will see the metal giants play two completely different sets over Friday and Sunday night at London Stadium — an immense treat for the diehards, and introducing some deeper cuts for the casuals, providing something for everyone.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
