Gigs in London tonight and this week

Live music in London tonight and over the next fortnight: the room, the time it actually starts, and what it costs. Big halls and small back rooms in the same list, because the best gig of the week is rarely the biggest.

What to expect

Three hundred or more listings filed under Gigs. The busiest rooms are Electric Ballroom, The 100 Club and Ronnie Scott's. Concentrated in Soho, Camden and Dalston.

Nearby

Every listing here has been checked against the venue that is putting it on.
