Lady Leshurr

March 3, Heaven, WC2 (0844 847 2351, heaven-live.co.uk)

The Birmingham rapper recently released a collaborative single with Wiley and is looking set for an impressive 2017 after signing a major label record deal.

Having filled the O2 Arena earlier this year, the lively Baltimore rockers return with two smaller, but not small, shows in the spring.

Room 29: Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzales

March 23-25, Barbican Theatre, EC2 (020 7638 8891, barbican.org.uk)

This multi-media performance by the Pulp man and the pianist promises to take the audience inside Room 29 at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood, once occupied by the likes of Howard Hughes and Jean Harlow.

Melanie C

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

Having forsaken another Spice Girls reunion, Sporty seems more content acting her age and promoting her seventh solo album.

Phil Collins

June 4-9, Albert Hall, SW7 (0845 401 5045, royalalberthall.com)

Conveniently returning to the live scene just before Glastonbury needs to fill its Sunday afternoon legend slot, Collins is ready to overcome various health issues and convince the nation that it’s cool to like him now.
