Anyone not at Reading & Leeds this weekend can be very content to venue hop in the capital, where Lady Leshurr, Bo Ningen and more usher in a big week.
Thursday 24
King Nun, The Finsbury, 8pm
Sneering Dirty Hit rock kids King Nun are in town to play a sweaty gig in a small pub – this will be big.

Shuffle Festival: Bo Ningen + The Square + Big Joanie + Feral Five, Tower Hamlets Cemetry Park, 12pm
