Sunday highlights
Muse
- Critics choice
It's hard to imagine that fans of Muse back in the days of 'Showbiz' and 'Origin of Symmetry' are into their current output – which, with latest (sixth) album 'The 2nd Law', seems to have added a layer of dubstep to their already multi-faceted, epic orchestral rock. But they've clearly got a strong following, because they continue to headline arenas and stadiums across the globe.
- Emirates Stadium Drayton Park, N5 1BU
- Sat May 25 - Sun May 26
Chelsea Fringe Festival 2013: Battersea Power Station
- Critics choice
- Free
A mere rebel seedling in 2012, Chelsea Fringe has grown to become the wild young thorn in the side of the mature Chelsea Flower Show. Its programme of some 200 projects covers such alt delights as a two-day gin bar in a botanical garden, knit-your own veg classes and a temporary restaurant serving food straight from city allotments. The festival is surfacing across London, though a clutch of the best guerrilla gardening events and plant-inspired art installations are taking place in one hub: the Battersea Power Station’s brand new, riverside pop-up park.
- Battersea Power Station Kirtling St, SW8 5BN
- Thu May 23 - Sun Jun 9
Secretsundaze
- Critics choice
Over the past 12 years, James Priestley and Giles Smith have created one of the most enduring and engaging London parties with secretsundaze, and to celebrate 12 years of house, techno and disco mayhem – which have seen an enviable catalogue of dance talent help them party hard – the boys have lined up a glistening series of spring and summer events. We know where we'll be spending our summer.
- Oval Space 29-32 The Oval , E2 9DT
- Sun May 26 - Sun Sep 29
Walk London: Spring into Summer 2013
- Critics choice
- Free
Enjoy one of 30 free guided walks covering London’s seven top walking routes this weekend, organised by Transport for London. All the walks are designed to be away from traffic and they connect some of London’s best attractions, parks, woodland, rivers, canals and open spaces. The complete routes range from the 15-mile Jubilee Walkway to the whopping 152-mile Loop walk, but a range of short walks along parts of these routes, many of them less than five miles, should ensure that there's something for all ages and interests.
