Start the music It wouldn’t be summer without music festivals. Sarah Riches looks at some of the big names that are coming to London
Forget wellies and collapsing tents – at London’s summer festivals you can dance into the evening before flopping into your hotel bed. More than 65,000 people a day attend Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time (to 9 Jul; p. 56) in Hyde Park. Headliners include Green Day (1 Jul) and Justin Bieber (2 Jul), supported by DJ Martin Garrix, electro pop singer Tove Lo and Anne-Marie of Rockabye fame. You can also catch Kings of Leon and the Pixies (both 6 Jul). Missed out on tickets? You can still make the most of the free comedy, films, tennis screenings, badminton and ping pong on offer, plus a pay-per-ride fun fair.
