I’ve got an iced coffee permanently fixed to my hand, I’m living in my Cecilie Bahnsen x Uniqlo frilly skirt, and constantly blasting indie-pop bangers while twirling into disgruntled, sweaty commuters on the Overground. It can only mean one thing: summer has arrived! June is peak festival season in London, and with that comes not only the freedom to drink a White Claw at 11am, but the chance to catch a whole slew of pop icons as they embark on the European festival circuit. We’re talking Bad Bunny, FKA twigs, Rilo Kiley, Kaytranada – the lot. Oh, and lovers of thrusty men in teeny tiny shorts will be keenly aware that Harry Styles is taking over the capital for practically the entire month with his tour and Meltdown at the Southbank Centre. There’s a joke about getting your disco balls out in there somewhere. While I work on it, scroll through what’s on offer. A punchline will find me eventually… The best London gigs and music concerts in June 2026 Photograph: Live NationBad Bunny 1.

It’s hard to overstate the enormity of South Korean girl group TWICE.

If you’ve got delusions of grandeur, indulge them this month with the first ever dinner inside London’s most illustrious landmark. Kings, queens and grandees have assembled in their finery for lavish coronations and ill-advised weddings in Westminster Abbey ever since William the Conqueror was crowned there back in 1066. Now, this magnificent gothic space is throwing a rather different kind of bash – but don’t let that stop you getting out your glitziest crown, gown and sceptre if you’re lucky enough to land a ticket.  For one night only, this historic spot will be hosting a special dinner in honour of English Wine Week, which runs from Saturday June 20 to Sunday June 28. To find it, you’ll need to venture underground to Cellarium, the Abbey’s fourteenth century medieval undercroft, which once catered to Benedictine monks, and nowadays usually serves up Benugo snacks and sandwiches to visitors.  But on Monday June 22, it’ll get a bit of its former exclusivity back, as its vaulted stone interiors become the setting for a special dinner. The evening will begin with a drinks reception, followed by a guided three course meal with English wines from Balfour Winery. It’ll be a chance to learn about the craft of English wine growing as it soars in popularity and exposure. Once, wines grown in the UK were seen as a niche curiosity, but now climate change and an influx of investment and expertise has seen them branch out and blossom into the mainstream, with over 3,000 people...
