DESPITE a current, slightly unsettling bout of T-shirt weather, we are well and truly in autumn. Promise! The nights closing in might be putting a halt to festival season, for now, but fortunately there’s plenty of other fun to be had around the capital. From megastar milestones to the next big thing, allow us to shepherd you through autumn’s finest offerings.
King Krule
South London avant-punk Archy Marshall brings the existential grapplings of this year’s Space Heavy to Hammersmith for two nights. Expect monstrous levels of murk, set to the musician’s explorations of fatherhood.
⬤ October 9 and 10, Eventim Apollo
Diana Ross
From Glastonbury’s legends slot to one of London’s swankiest venues, Diana Ross is staging one hell of a greatest hits tour. Expect plenty of Supremes cuts alongside her many disco-pop classics.
⬤ October 14 and 15, Royal Albert Hall
Easy Life
Leicester indie-pop oddballs Easy Life are going from strength to strength despite the baffling news that they’re being sued by EasyJet (yes, really). They sold out Ally Pally back in February. Now, here’s a chance to catch them in (slightly) more cosy surroundings.
⬤ October 14, Roundhouse
Madonna
After deviating from the norm back in 2020 with a comically tiny show at London’s Palladium theatre, Madge is back in stadium-baiting business, with a greatest hits epic to celebrate 40 years of setting the agenda in pop.
⬤ October 14-18, The O2
The Last Dinner Party
