Live in LDN: August1
Posted In Live in LDN by Speeakz
New Feature Alert!
This month sees the beginning of ‘Live in LDN’ – a new section of PinBoard which aims to expose you to all the best gigs/live events going down in London town. This feature will expand as time goes on into something much bigger, but for now we’ll just be letting you know what’s good in this great city of ours. Not only that but Tosin (our live events contributor) will also be reviewing some of the events. I’ll let her take over from here…

So there’s a few, also there are a couple good festivals still coming up including V Festival (21st/22nd Aug), Bestival (10th- 12th Sept) and Reading Festival (27th-29th August).
Also if you’re planning ahead a bit, September sees the return of Janelle Monae on the 8th, this time at KoKo, I even hear that tickets are SOLD OUT! There is also the brand new Gorillaz tour kicking off at the o2 in November, which should be an interesting show and lastly Raheem DeVaughn bringing his rebellious soul to Jazz Cafe on the 29th and 30th of September. Look out for updates and live reviews soon!
