On their high horse: Goldfrapp are on the bill

Bacharach opens proceedings at the Roundhouse accompanied by Adele, Beth Rowley and Jamie Cullum. Also at the Roundhouse, Bee Gee Robin Gibb will mark the 30th anniversary of Saturday Night Fever topping UK charts by performing alongside Sharleen Spiteri and Sam Sparro. Keane will introduce what is billed as their "new edgier, heavier sound" to an intimate crowd at Koko. Goldfrapp plays Cecil Sharp House.
