Screw Somerset, Love London

If you've not headed off to a muddy field in Somerset but still want some live music this weekend, then fear not! There are plenty of muddy fields in London to enjoy instead.

Twickenham is the place of action for Bon Jovi fans today and tomorrow, as the fists in the air band fill up the stadium for some almighty cheesy rocking out. We expect to hear Livin' On A Prayer well into West London. Tickets are still available both on Ticketmaster and Scarlet Mist.

Bang in the heart of town we've got the question of whether Amy Winehouse will actually show up at tonight's 46664 concert. We're actually secretly looking forward to seeing Leona Lewis perform and we'll be bringing you a full review of the concert later this evening.

Then tomorrow and Sunday Hyde Park will transform into Hard Rock Calling, a two day event jampacked with music. Eric Clapton headlines Saturday night while The Police play their final UK gig on Sunday. If you're heading down and want to know who's on when then check after the jump for full set times. Tickets are between £50 and £65 and avaliable on the Live Nation site.
