As famous faces, from Adele to Elton John, take to the stage, Sarah Riches finds which gigs are hitting the right note

Sounds Of The City

London has been immortalised by so many musicians, from The Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover to The Kinks’ ode to the city in Waterloo Sunset.

This month sees London legends take to the stage. Whatever you do, don’t miss the finale of Adele’s world tour (from 29 Jun), which is at Wembley Stadium. Born in Tottenham, north London, and an alumni of The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in south London, the star has won 15 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.

Adele will perform in the round, giving you a 360-degree view. As she is keen to stay close to her son once he starts school, rumour has it this world tour might be her last. No wonder the concert’s sold out – but you may get lucky if you call for returns.

After a period of ill health, Elton John continues his worldwide Wonderful Crazy Night tour, which celebrates the rock star’s 33rd album of the same name (3 Jun). The outdoor show is in the stadium bowl of Twickenham Stoop and is the venue’s first concert.

Back in town, you can see another legend, Phil Collins, perform on his Not Dead Yet tour at the Royal Albert Hall (9 Jun). After a 10-year hiatus, the ex-Genesis star has come out of retirement to perform.

BRITISH SUMMER TIME FESTIVAL

More than 65,000 people a day attend the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time festival, a series of one-day concerts which takes over much of Hyde Park’s 350 acres.
