Gigs of the week

The lowdown on the best live music in London this week...

GLORIA ESTEFAN
Where: Wembley
When: Wednesday
Tickets: £45-£65
www.gloriaestefan.com
Gloria Estefan is in the top 100 of best selling music artists with over 70 million albums sold worldwide. She has won five Grammy Awards; making her one of the most successful crossover performers in Latin music to date. With a dedicated following, this will be a packed concert.

MADONNA
Where: Wembley
When: Thursday
Tickets: £75-£85
www.madonna.com
Hot on the diamante shaped heels of her phenomenally successful Hard Candy disc, Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour promises two pulsating hours of non stop hits. It features 16 dancers, a 12 piece band, more than eight costume changes for the lady herself and £1 million of Swarovski crystals. The audience is taken on a rock driven journey with four themes – Pimp, Old School, Gypsy and Rave. Fabulous.

STEVIE WONDER
Where: O2 Arena
When: Thursday & Friday
Tickets: £55-£65
www.steviewonder.net
Stevie Wonder has recorded more than thirty top ten hits, won 26 Grammy Awards (a record for a solo artist), plus one for lifetime achievement. He has also been given an Oscar for best song and is in the Rock and Roll and Songwiters halls of fame. Worth a visit to the 02 Arena then.

JONAS BROTHERS
Where: Hammersmith Apollo
When: Thursday
Tickets: £20
www.jonasbrothers.com
Hailing from Wyckoff, New Jersey, the band consists of three brothers: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas. They have released three albums: It's About Time (2006), Jonas Brothers (2007) and A Little Bit Longer (2008). Think Disney Channel favourites on tour and expect screaming teenagers.

KATY PERRY
Where: Monto Water Rats
When: Thursday
Tickets: £7.50
www.katyperry.com
American singer Katy Perry has made her mark on the music radar following the success of her single I Kissed A Girl. The song, which has topped the charts in more than 20 countries, isn't your run of the mill pop hit. Her Monto Water Rats show will probably be one of her last intimate gigs for quite a while.
