FOO FIGHTERS
Where: Wembley Arena
When: Friday, June 6 & Saturday, June 7
Tickets: £42.50-£49.50
www.foofighters.com
There are few live acts that compare to the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is an impressive frontman and with the backing of Nate Mandell, Chris Shiflett and Taylor Hawkins (here's hoping he does one of his drum solos) this band can't go far wrong.

2008 has already been highly successful for the Foos, seeing them take home two Brits and two Grammys. Their sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace shot to the top of the UK charts with the biggest first-week sales by any International artist this year. Playing Wembley stadium for two nights, this is one not to be missed.

FUNK 'N'STEIN
Where: Pigalle
When: Friday, June 7 & Sunday, June 8
Tickets: £15
www.funknstein.com
Fresh from international shows, the award winning Israeli soul and funk group Funk'N'Stein, who are getting plenty of airplay on UK radio, come to London for two highly anticipated gigs at the Pigalle. Performing with an eight-piece band, Funk'N'Stein are sure to entertain.

DAVID ESSEX
Where: Hammersmith Apollo
When: Saturday, June 7
Tickets: £27-£29
www.davidessex.com
David Essex's remarkable career spans from music and theatre to film and television. With 23 Top 30 singles in Britain alone, this performer has quite a following. His Hammersmith Apollo show should be fun.

THE PIGEON DETECTIVES
Where: Carling Academy Brixton
When: Sunday, June 8
Tickets: £15
www.thepigeondetectives.com
They have supported the likes of The Kaiser Chiefs and Dirty Pretty Things but The Pigeon Detectives' London date is all about them. They can count Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq amongst fans but expect the crowd to be dominated by indie kids with quirky haircuts.

ROBYN
Where: Astoria
When: Sunday, June 8
Tickets: £14
www.robyn.com
Swedish pop singer Robyn was known in the 90s for her dance-pop hits like Show Me Love. Things got a little quiet for a few years until she came back on the scene with a cooler image and bigger fan base. She was one of the most popular acts on the Camden Crawl this year and is now set to play the Astoria.
