Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Wembley Stadium, London, Saturday 15 June
The Boss is back in London! Following his Hard Rock Calling appearance last year where he was controversially cut off during a duet with Sir Paul McCartney, Springsteen brings his Wrecking Ball tour to one of the most famous venues on Earth. Springsteen is somewhat of a Wembley veteran having played the stadium an unbelievable five times throughout his illustrious career. The show is part of 17 European dates that the legendary rocker will play his summer and he takes to the stage at 7pm to play a mammoth three-and-a-half hour set. If you are lucky enough to have tickets to this sold out event, head down early and grab a great spot for the first blockbuster gig of the summer!
The Who @ The O2 Arena, London, Saturday 15 June & Sunday 16 June
Yes, that is right. They smashed the Olympic Closing Ceremony last year with Roger Daltrey's faultless vocal impressing everyone worldwide and now The Who are set to play two sell-out shows in the capital this weekend. We are mightily lucky to have them and the reviews of their tour so far have been very impressive. Tearing through a variety of hits from seminal album Quadrophenia, the iconic Mod band will also play anthems such as 'Baba O'Riley' and 'Pinball Wizard'. A once-in-a-lifetime event for all those going and one which is sure to go down in history.
Jimmy Eat World @ KOKO, London, Sunday 16 June
If huge audiences in huge venues aren't for you, head down to KOKO in Camden to see Arizona based rock band Jimmy Eat World. The band released their latest album Damage this week ahead of festival slots in the UK throughout the summer. Having supported the likes of Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World are accustomed to bigger stages than this so it will be a real treat to see them in such a space. The band play Download Festival this weekend beforehand so will be in suitably rowdy form.
