Plan B

May 3, O2 Academy Brixton, SW9 (0844 477 2000, o2academybrixton.co.uk)

Slowly making his return after a few years out with his first child, Ben Drew is singing again and will have a new album out by the time this show takes place.

Cigarettes After Sex

May 24, O2 Academy Brixton, SW9 (0844 477 2000, o2academybrixton.co.uk)

If you failed to get tickets for the dreamy Texan band’s Roundhouse show this week, they’ll be bringing their relaxed atmospherics to an even bigger London venue next year.

Creamfields Presents Steel Yard London

May 26-27, Finsbury Park, N4 (0844 844 0444, creamfields.com/steelyard)

The 20 metre high “superstructure” comes to a different London park next May, with dance giants Above & Beyond and Tiësto bringing their fireworks on different days.

Michael Bublé

July 13, Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park, W1 (08448 24 48 24, bst-hydepark.com)

The smooth showman is back in business after a period of family illness, and is the latest big star to be announced for Hyde Park’s summer season.

Jeff Lynne’s ELO

Oct 17, O2 Arena, SE10 (0844 824 4824, the02.co.uk)

He’s not the greatest showman, but Jeff Lynne has such an arsenal of feelgood classics that it’s been well worth reviving his ELO brand in recent years.
