Bryan Ferry

April 20-22, Palladium, W1 (0870 895 5505, london-palladium.co.uk)

The old smoothie comes to a suitably luxurious theatre to play Roxy Music classics as well as tracks from last year’s well-received solo album, Avonmore.

Jack Garratt

April 15, O2 Academy Brixton, SW9 (0844 477 2000, o2academybrixton.co.uk)

Time to get on board Garratt’s increasingly speedy train, now that the one-man band is officially 2016’s BRITs Critics’ Choice winner and guaranteed a big year.

Wilkinson

April 8, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, W12 (0844 477 2000, o2shepherdsbushempire.co.uk)

Drum and bass producer Mark Wilkinson has recently been airing new material ahead of a second album, and should have plenty to display by the time this show comes around.

Florence + the Machine

July 2, British Summer Time Hyde Park, W1 (08448 24 48 24, bst-hydepark.com)

The latest Hyde Park show looks like the most impressive line-up so far, with Glastonbury headlining veteran Florence joined by top rapper Kendrick Lamar, Jamie xx and Blood Orange.

Citadel Festival

July 17, Victoria Park, E3 (08444 999 9999, citadelfestival.com)

Returning for a second year, Citadel takes over from the dancey Lovebox Festival at the end of the weekend and provides more thoughtful fare. Sigur Ros[ACUTE ON O] will be next year’s headliners.
