Live music under the stars surrounded by lush gardens? Yes, please.
Kew the Music is a serene, picnic-friendly concert series that brings big artists to a beautifully curated setting. It’s ideal for families, date nights, and anyone who likes their festivals with a side of prosecco and roses.
Kaleidoscope Festival (12th July) – Alexandra Palace
Like to mix it up? Kaleidoscope Festival is a colourful fusion of music, comedy and theatre, set against the panoramic backdrop of Ally Pally.
It’s the only London festival where you can see a legendary DJ, a stand-up comic, and a surreal circus act all in the same afternoon. This one-day wonder is perfect for curious minds and creative souls.
Wireless Festival (11th – 13th July ) – Finsbury Park
Wireless turns 20 and they’re not keeping it quiet on this one. Drake is headlining all three with different setlists, making this a once-in-a-generation event.
The lineup is stacked with icons like Burna Boy, Summer Walker, Vybz Kartel, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Boy Better Know. This is London’s biggest celebration of urban music, and 2025 might just be its most iconic edition yet.
As One in the Park (19th July) – Victoria Park
As One in the Park is London’s LGBTQ+ music festival that blends massive club energy with inclusive, joyful vibes. Expect drag royalty, DJs, and a crowd that knows how to bring the love.
Whether you’re dancing under the sun or celebrating Pride with chosen family, As One is all about unity through music and freedom.
De Beauvoir Jazz Festival (11th July – 12th July) – Islington & Hackney
You like Jazz? Then you’ll love this new and upcoming festival that’s hitting London’s cultural map.
The De Beauvoir Jazz Festival is a vibrant two-day celebration of rich rhythms, soulful improvisation, and creative expression. Spanning intimate venues across Islington and Hackney, the festival, founded by local residents, champions underground talent and fresh sounds. Expect unexpected collaborations, community spirit, and plenty of groove.
BST Hyde Park (27th June – 31st July) – Hyde Park
Hyde Park’s flagship summer concert series is back, and it never disappoints.

It’s a bucket-list experience in the heart of the city.
