Our pick of the gigs

Autumn is beginning to kick in, that means it's gig season! So who's playing?

We've got it covered. Click on the artist to get full details on where and when they're playing. We'll even help you find places to eat and drink near the venue. So who do you fancy seeing?

Alphabeat - Everyone's favourite Danish popsters hit shepherd's Bush Empire in October.

Coldplay - Bag yourself an early Xmas present by catching chris and the boys at the O2 in December.

Cyndi Lauper - Perhaps most famous for her 80s hit 'girls Just Want to Have Fun', Cyndi is back, playing live in Shepherd's Bush in October.

Duffy - Johnny claims she's related to Shaky, we're not sure, but if you missed her recent CapitaLive gig then catch her in the Carling Brixton Academy in December.

Gabriella Cilmi - She's had one of the hits of the summer with 'Sweet About Me' - but there's a lot more to Gabriella than that track! See what all the fuss is about in November.

Iglu & Hartley - Combining up-tempo pop, hip hop and rock, we're expecting great things from these guys. Playing at the launch night of matter at the O2.

Katy Perry - Famous for her girl-kissing antics, the fan of cherry chapstick has two nights coming up in September.

Keane - Back on top form - the boys will be playing The forum at the end of the month.

Ladyhawke - If you fancy a bit of 80s influenced electropop, and let;'s be honest, who doesn't, you've got a few nights through September and October to catch Ladyhawke live.

The Last Shadow Puppets - Overshadowed by the fact they're 50% Arctic Monkey, this album sounds more classical and epic than the Artics. See them live and judge for yourself - Hammersmith Apollo at the end of October.

McFly - The ambassadors of pop land at Wembley Arena in November.

Ne-Yo - He's hardly been off-air with 'Closer' this summer - see him live at the Hammersmith Apollo.

New Kids On The Block - Lucio will be going along! Performing live at HMV and signing copies of their new album.

Nickelback - Want to see some real rock stars? Covering the North and south of London, playing at Wembley and the O2.

Oasis - Expect a mix of new tracks plus their classics from the 90s - the kings of Britpop are live in London in October.

One Republic - Too late to see them live? Not likely, hop on down to The Forum to see them live!

Sara Bareilles - 'Love Song' has pushed her onto our radar this summer - she's being touted as the US version of our homegrown Kate Nash. Catch her in September at the Scala in Kings Cross.

Sugababes - Here come the girls! One of the biggest acts around at the moment - playing the forum next month.

The Ting Tings - Favourites of Lucio, the duo from Manchester bring their good-selves to the Forum in October.

Will Young - We're all big fans of his new single, 'changes', The Pop Idol winner will be playing the recently revamped Roundhouse in Camden in December.
