Hot London Tickets - Our Picks

Madonna (Wembley Stadium - 11 September 2008)

The provocatively named Sticky And Sweet tour will feature songs from Madge's new offering Hard Candy plus all the old boot-stomping favourites from Like A Virgin to Hung Up...


Duran Duran (The O2 - 3 July 2008)
Duran Duran. Photo Credit: Samira Khan. Creative Commons LicenseTrendy and massive, Duran Duran have been firmly affixing pop tunes in people's heads for over a quarter century at this point. You could argue they have never been better than their first lightning flash of success and disappearance in the mid-80s, and you'd probably be right, but it doesn't matter live. They've always been a visual band anyway, from the video that launched them to stardom to their legendary fashion sense. Pray for some deep cuts to compliment the offerings from last year's Red Carpet Massacre.


M.I.A. (The Roundhouse - 1 July 2008)
M.I.A. Photo Credit: j.appleseed. Creative Commons LicenseFor once you can breathe a sigh of relief that the United States acts like a greedy toddler with a paranoia complex, because it caused them to deny M.I.A. a visa to record her second album. Instead she traveled around the world to record it and the resultant Kala was one last year's best. Highly charged, visually audacious, cool as a new ice age and probably crazy (who isn't?), there are few acts more worth seeing at the moment. A performance of 'Paper Planes' alone is better than most bands can offer in two hours of back catalogue.
