- Rating: 3/5
He’s run 43 marathons in 51 days, has his 2020 sights set on Boris Johnson’s job, and he’s currently in the middle of the planet’s biggest ever comedy tour. Nope, there’s no denying Eddie Izzard’s ambition. And in ‘Force Majeure’ (the aforementioned world...

Pet Shop Boys
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
The dowagers of British disco have done their dabbling (in everything from alt.rock to soundtracks), but they returned to what they do best on last album, 'Yes'. Expect a winning mix of clubby house anthems and impeccable pop, plus Tennant's genuinely...
Leonard Cohen
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
At 77, one of Canada's mightiest exports retuns to delight his huge and still-growing fanbase at The O2. Hits 'Suzanne', 'Hallelujah!' and 'Chelsea Hotel #2' remain affecting and poignant – even more so out of the bedroom and in a live arena.

Alegría
West End, Circuses, Experimental theatre

Classic rock
- Critics' choice
Despite denials and solo projects, the Mac are to return to these shores – still lacking Christine McVie, but otherwise with the classic line-up miraculously intact – for their first UK shows since they sold out Wembley in 2009. It'll be a greatest-hits...
