Five Gigs You Can't Miss in London this Autumn
London is a number one stop on most top artists' itineraries. No tour would be complete without performing live in one of London's landmark venues like Wembley or O2 Arena. This autumn is looking up to be great for gig lovers with acts like AlunaGeorge, Jay-Z, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd, stopping by to show the best they can offer to an experienced audience of London dwellers.
Here we list five gigs you simply just can't afford to miss in London:
1. Bruno Mars
Dates: October 09-10, 2013
Venue: O2 Arena, London
A true modern phenomenon, a global artist with incredible fame, nominated for seven 2011 Grammy Awards, Bruno Mars will be performing two dates in London this October at O2 arena in Greenwich. Make sure to arrive early to get an incredible view from London above the river from the new addition to London's transport - the Emirates Air Line cable car. Bruno Mars tickets sell super fast, don't leave it till the last minute!
2. Jay-Z
Dates: October 10-14, 2013
Venue: O2 Arena, London
Clear your calendars and reschedule your weekly chores; rap royalty will land in London in the second week of October. Even though the last album, Magna Carta...Holy Grail, got very mixed reviews in the music press, Jay-Z live shows aren't something you'd want to miss.
3. AlunaGeorge
Dates: October 24, 2013
Venue: O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire
London town natives Aluna Francis and George Reid got together in 2009 to create one of the most critically acclaimed electronic music acts in the last five years, AlunaGeorge. You may recognise them from their world famous hit, 'You Know You Like It'. The band will be playing the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire late October, so stop by for a night of the best new electro music from the UK.
4. Queens of the Stone Age
Dates: November 22-23, 2013
Venue: Wembley Stadium, London
No one rocks harder than Queens of the Stone Age. Their hard hitting, rough riff guitar sound defined the rock music of the generation who grew up in the 2nd part of the 90s. With their recent "Like Clockwork" album, the band is back (with the bang, as promised) and hitting places across the UK, including Wembley Stadium in November.
5. The Weeknd
Dates: November 26, 2013
Venue: O2 Arena, London
The Weeknd, the real name Abel Tesfaye, is the Internet Age pop star - an electronic R&B artist spotted on YouTube, adored by bloggers and favourited on Spotify. You may recall him from his famous YouTube hits, High For This and Wicked Games. He'll be showing his best at the O2 Arena in late November, so clear your diaries for the artist who was once called the 'best musical talent since Michael Jackson'.
