Peter, Bjorn And John
FridayLong-absent Highbury venue the Garage reopens tonight with a new name thanks to an energy-drink sponsorship and a headline set by
this eccentric Swedish trio, famed
for their whistling-packed hit
Young Folks.
Relentless Garage, N5 (0844 847 1678, www.thegarage.co.uk)

AC/DC
Friday
The veteran rockers bring their spectacular arena show to an even bigger stage, complete with runaway trains, giant inflatable strippers and firing cannon. The real focal point, though, is still incendiary guitarist Angus Young.
Wembley Stadium (020 7403 3331, www.wembleystadium.com)

Hard Rock Calling
Friday - Sunday
If Glastonbury seems a bit far, this local alternative is far more accessible and features two of the same headliners in Neil Young (Saturday) and Bruce Springsteen (Sunday). The Killers top tonight's bill, and look out, too, for Fleet Foxes, Seasick Steve and Passion Pit.

Take That
1-5 July
Four nights at Wembley Stadium for the boy-band turned man-band is one more than Oasis and two more than Coldplay this summer, which must make Take That officially the biggest group in Britain. In a circus-themed extravaganza complete with unicycling and a giant elephant, they'll prove why they deserve
the crown.
