The Long Road Festival 2026 – Day One: Come Rain, Shine Or Biblical Thunder
Last year, The Long Road Festival takes place a week earlier in August and, had it done the same this year, Stanford Hall would probably have been basking in the heatwave temperatures and sun-scorched grass that have defined much of the British summer. But The Long Road has become synonymous with the August Bank Holiday weekend and, right on cue, as thousands of country fans begin arriving in Leicestershire, the heavens decide to open.
Natalie Imbruglia Makes Kingston’s Circuit Her Own At Intimate ‘Algorithm’ Launch
There is something wonderfully disarming about seeing Natalie Imbruglia on a stage this small. At The Circuit in Kingston, the singer-songwriter is close enough to her audience to make eye contact with people in the front row, close enough to laugh with them and, crucially, close enough for the nerves of the evening to be impossible to disguise.
Violet Grohl Brings Raw Intimacy To Camden’s Barfly For Second London Night

Ain’t Dead Yet: Joshua Ray Walker’s Triumphant Return to London
The Lower Third is an odd venue, not because of how it looks or where it sits, but because of how it feels. Tucked just off central London, easily reachable by tube or on foot, it hides itself away down a set of stairs at the back of the building. What waits below is a room that feels more like an indie nightclub than a traditional live space. It is low-lit, compact, with tucked-away seating and enough room to hold around 200 to 250 people.
We Let Love In! Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds In Brighton’s Preston Park

Latitude Festival 2026 Day One: David Byrne Delivers Joy As Florence Road Steal The Day

Thee Sacred Souls Bring Timeless Soul To A Sold-Out Somerset House Summer Series 2026
There are few places in London quite like the Somerset House Summer Series. As live music settings go, the historic courtyard strikes a near-perfect balance between festival atmosphere and city convenience. You get golden-hour sunshine, open skies and an enthusiastic crowd, but without the mud, endless walks back to the station or logistical headaches that come with many outdoor events. Instead, it’s a quick Tube ride home after an evening of world-class music.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse
