The Police
Twickenham Stadium
More than 23 years since they split, Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland finally appear on a stage in our neck of the woods once more. Rumours of a resurfacing of the old professional tensions have been strong, but if they can make it through all those hits without squabbling they'll send thousands home extremely happy. (0870 154 40 40) Sat 8, Sun 9 Sep

The Chemical Brothers
Trafalgar Square
Never the most exciting blokes to look at, the Chemical Brothers have always relied on spectacular visuals to express the high-speed thrills of their music. For this one-off freebie for 9,000 people, Beck's Fusions have united them with video director Flat Nose George for a brand new feast for the eyes. Free, Sun 9 Sep, 5pm

Yo La Tengo - The Sounds of Science
Royal Festival Hall, SE1
The veteran art rock trio perform their live soundtrack to the vintage nature films of Jean Painleve, first written in 2001, to mark the release of the collaboration a new DVD. (0871 663 2500) Sun 9 Sep

Robyn
Bush Hall, W12
The Swedish former teen star's single With Every Heartbeat last month finally became the number one it deserves to be, long after it first appeared on her excellent comeback album. Here she'll prove that there are plenty more great electropop tunes where that came from. (020 8222 6933) Fri 7 Sep

Kate Nash
Bloomsbury Ballroom, WC1
Another recent surprise number-one star, former shop assistant Nash seems as surprised as everyone else at her current popularity. Her quirky tales of the everyday and mangled vowels have struck a chord, and until Lily Allen writes some more songs, she's an able replacement. (0870 534 4444) Fri 7 Sep
