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.

⬤ October 14, Roundhouse
