What's on at The Forum
Airbourne
Metal, Hard rock
These Aussie power rockers tear up the stage with some almost impressively dumb, head-shaking, brain-blasting R-O-C-K. They're basically the new AC/DC, but not quite as good.
Ane Brun
Categories, Pop and rock
Engagingly unorthodox Norwegian songwriter Brun, who now lives in Sweden, can sound a little like a cross between Dolly Parton and a less spooked Stephanie Dosen.
The Boxer Rebellion
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
The unlucky London group continue their remarkable comeback, after their initial run of success in the mid-noughties was dampened by label chaos and personal tragedy. The Boxer Rebellion are back with their self-released fourth album 'Promises'. They...
The Breeders
Categories, Pop and rock
A welcome return from Pixies bassist Kim Deal and her sister Kelley. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their classic album 'Last Splash', these twins from Ohio have pieced together the same Breeders line-up that made the album (drummer Jim MacPherson...
C2C
Categories, Music
The French DJ quartet – and four-time World DMC Turntable Champs – bring their impressive live performance to London. Using up to five decks, these four pros will mix in anything from electro swing to rock, to high life and hip hop, with copious amounts...
Clutch
Categories, Pop and rock
Maryland fusion metallers Clutch play a mix of Zep riffage and funk-addled rhythms, with some deft wordplay in their lyrics to boot.
Everything Everything
Indie rock
- Critics' choice
- Free
We weren't too impressed by this Manchester four-piece's second album 'Arc' (read our review), but their groove-heavy blend of synthy art-pop, odd time signatures and careening, falsetto-fuelled harmonies blows up on stage.
Happy Mondays
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
First there was 'Madchester', now we're just living through 'Dadchester'. Following the Stone Roses' cash-driven reunion, the original line up of Shaun Ryder's once great freaky-dancin' and melon-twistin' avant-funkers put aside their (considerable) differences,dust...

MGMT
Indie rock, Pop, Psych and garage rock
- Critics' choice
Led by Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden, Brooklyn's terrifically funky, psychedelic pop band MGMT come to London. After a smash-hit with their debut album 'Oracular Spectacular', MGMT backed away from infectious synth-pop and have since been exploring...
New Model Army
Alternative rock, Punk and hardcore, New wave and post-punk
Justin Sullivan's rumbling, militant doom-rock veterans march on, 33 years after they first came together in Bradford. Despite the band's consistently bad reviews – including, hilariously, a write-up by the US Immigration Department in 1985 that stated...

- £22.50
Odd Future
Categories, Pop and rock
- Critics' choice
This ultra-hyped Californian teen rap collective – full name: Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All – have set the US hip hop world ablaze with their contrary blend of eloquence, intelligence and brattish, deliberately provocative obnoxiousness. It's not...

- £17.50
Red Snapper + Radioactive Man
Experimental and free improvisation, Alternative rock
- Critics' choice
Original Red Snapper members Richard Thair (drums), Ali Friends (bass) and David Ayres (guitar) are, since their reunion in 2007, joined by young tenor sax player Tom Challenger, and continue to build sinuous, sensuous dance music – equal parts dub, soundtrack,...

Shed Seven
Britpop
The days when they littered the charts with indie disco anthems may be gone, but you can be sure that tonight Rick Witter and co will roll out all the favourites: 'Disco Down', 'On Standby', 'She Left Me On Friday'…
Soundcrash presents a D&B Extravaganza
Drum 'n' bass and dubstep, Clubs, Breaks, Funk, Hip hop, Soul
- Critics' choice
That's what we like to see, an event name that tells you all you need to know. Heading up this full-on night of D&B mayhem is scene veteran LTJ Bukem, who can switch from spacey, jazzy beats to solid dancefloor business in the blink of an eye. Support...
The Wildhearts
Categories, Pop and rock
Led by the rambunctious Ginger, the Geordie rock 'n' roll cum pop-metal veterans return with a half-and-half show. For the first half, the band will play their debut album 'Earth Vs The Wildhearts' and during the second half, audience members can shout...
