Super cool Tuesday night club White Heat has a particularly fun sounding line-up tonight at Madame JoJo's on Brewer Street. From 8.30 London pow pow! kids /The Clik Clik will bounce their way through a set before girly space warriors Poppy and The Jezebels pull some mystical shapes. Then recent Listen Up! stars XX Teens round it all off with songs from their new album. £6 on the door from 8pm - Mdme Jo......

Love your pop music? We've got 2 pairs of tickets up for grabs for tonight's Wonky Pop clubnight at Cargo in Shoreditch. Although Annie was due to headline, illness has forced her to pull out, but she's replaced by the awesome London girl Ebony Bones. It's an all star cast with The Clik Clik and Helsoise and The Savoir Faire also playing live while Richard X, Alphabeat and Popjustice DJ. First two to email londonist.music@gmail.com......

Tonight Amy Winehouse will be hosting her own clubnight 'Snakehips at The Monarch' on Chalk Farm Road. On Saturday night we spotted her chatting to the amazing DJ Bioux in the small room at Proud and now it seems the pair will be going head to head for a DJ battle playing 50s and 60s. Judging by what he was playing on Saturday we think this would be brilliant even without Amy. We dread to......

If you're into anything dancy you'd be hard pushed to find a better night out than at Fabric. Tonight in the floor quivering Room 1 Drop The Lime drops in from Brooklyn to play along side Switch & The Scratch Perverts while over in room 2 Australian drum and bass chart invaders, Pendulum, headline with support from the likes of Goldie. It's room 3 we're most excited about though as it celebrates the release......

Every so often we take a more indepth look at clubnights round London that peak our interest. This week it's Beat Poetry, an ecletic funky night which moved from Brixton to Spitalfields earlier this year. If you like the sound of it, the next installment is taking place this Friday (13/6) from 10pm and entry is a mini £3, with a promise of lollies, jelly beans and free CDs. Cool! When and why did......

It is abundantly clear that the Eurovision Song Contest is an event not to be taken too seriously. For both the audience and the performers, this annual extravaganza is primarily about one thing: fun. And so it proved with the UK leg of the Eurovision Winners Party at Scala on Saturday night. As our free glasses of cider began to fill up, so – thankfully – did the club. The show was opened by......

Tonight marks the end of Wednesday's most famous club night - Nag Nag Nag. Borne out of the electroclash wave in the early naughties, Jonny Slut, Fil OK and JoJo De Freq have been packing the underground lair of Ghetto with many a fashionable wreck every week since. At it's peak everyone wanted in from Bjork to Justin Timberlake, Bono to Christina Aguilera but it was the crowd of metro sexual DIY rule breakers......

If you're not planning on spending tonight in one end of Camden then there's a pretty good argument to spend it in the other. Hangout of the cool, The Proud Galleries, reopened this week and they'll be partying their first Saturday night in new premises tonight. The new location is the old Horse Hospital, and is twice the size of the original club with 3 gallery spaces including 8 private booths and a 450......

We love it when great club nights not funded by some huge company come along. DIY night NoOneDied has been pumping it up at The Enterprise in Chalk Farm for over a year and given they even managed to survive the fire, we thought it was about time to check up on them. When and why did you set NoOneDied up? We planned No One Died around Christmas 2006, but the first night wasn't......

If you have the urge to get quasi-religious this weekend and fancy a night out with a theme of heaven, hell, resurrection and redemption, then you can go to the slightly unlikely location of Kensal Green to find what you're looking for. The Paradise Show at Paradise by way of Kensal Green is the first in a series of Bank Holiday parties at this restored pub. All seven spaces of this theatrical, handsome boozer......

For those of you in London this Easter weekend, there's a treat for you. Oh yes. Good Friday will indeed by very good because that's the evening of the Hendrick's Spring Masked Ball, a most glorious night of gin-flavoured hedonism, elaborate costume and fantastic facewear. Organised by the decadent chaps of The Last Tuesday Society, we know from their reputation at previous balls that this is going to be rather fabulous and as well......

New Years Eve is a funny one. Some people think it's the best night ever, and those who don't are kind of forced into thinking maybe they should be thinking that and invariably end up having a rubbish night. But how about you just think about it as an excuse to go dancing - that's never a bad idea. Here's our favourite dancefloor happenings tomorrow night. If it's dance music you want, then absolutely......

Last full week before Christmas, we expect your bank account's feeling the strain. All that Christmas shopping and partying taking its toll? If you want to make the most of being out and about before Christmas cabin fever and complete exhaustion set in then we're here to help. Monday: Keep the braincells going through silly season. Go to the free lecture at Gresham College about why our society rewards celebrities, fads and fashions and......

Bored tonight? Well if you're hanging round East London without much to do then we recommend a visit to Stoke Newington's Bardens Boudoir. Constantly a source of exciting small bands and DIY events, tonight Upset The Rhythm are your hosts. Girl Talk is their headlining act and one we're particularly excited about. A big star in the music circles, Gregg Gillis has been mixing up all types of songs in his DJ sets as......

Girls from Greece with a thirst for knowledge looking to study sculpture will soon have a new home. Central St Martin's College of Art and Design is taking up residency in King's Cross to the delight of residents. Not everyone, however, is so enthused as the space for the new campus is currently home to three night clubs. The Cross, the Key, and Canvas are all due to host their final nights on New......

Londonist loves Horse Meat Disco at South Central in Vauxhall. But it's on a Sunday night. So what do you do if you need a bit of disco on a Saturday, well Disco Bloodbath has arrived and it's Hackney based antics are making us pretty excited. Dan Beaumont, Damon Martin and Ben Pistor are the boys behind it When and why did you set your night up? Damon:Our night began in April of this......

Four weeks till Christmas! Argh. Funds are all focused on present buying and getting through the party season but we still want to go out and about because the heating isn't working properly at home. We can't afford to go and see Gandalf drop his trousers in King Lear but, thankfully, there's lots of cheap and interesting stuff about as usual. Monday: Start the week with an event truly in the spirit of London......

If you missed out on Halloween fancy dress or just want an excuse to get decked out in Victorian garb, then White Mischief offers the perfect opportunity. White Mischief is a night of cabaret, vaudeville, and live music that encourages audience participation and dressing up. The event will be taking over Scala in Kings Cross this Saturday from 8pm until the wee hours. This show's theme is 'From The Earth To The Moon' and......

Hooray! It's nearly Halloween! Jack-o-lanterns a plenty, scary masks and annoying trick or treaters who get hyped up on way too many e-numbers (and probably a few cans of cider nowadays). Still, there's so much stuff going on this year, you'd be a fool to stay inside hiding under your sofa this 31st October. It just wouldn't be Halloween without the Rocky Horror Show. So Everyman Cinema snapped up this spooky treat. Dress up,......

Londonist spent all of its money this week getting drunk at its 3rd birthday party. Hopefully, you were one of the many people who decided to join us. As a thank you, London On The Cheap is back (hurrah!) showing you what fun and fabulous free stuff you can entertain yourselves with next week: Sunday: We had an extra hour today so you get an extra day of news from us. Out to Lunch......

Well, we hear you say, haven’t you reviewed this event already? Shouldn’t you get another hobby, say crocheting? Fun as crocheting may be, after one Londonista’s outing to the Red Death Late Nights following her participation in The Mask of the Red Death at BAC, this Londonista decided to try to see if one could attend the Late Night extravaganza without having seen the previous show. Would it be as fun as crocheting*? Well,......

Now that the improv jazz solo of Oxjam's opening extravaganza is over, the country's biggest music festival settles into a smooth 4/4 groove for the second week. The focus shifts away from the basement of Dalston's Oxfam - where the likes of Norman Cook and Jarvis Cocker entertained the sweaty masses - to the festival's meat 'n gristle, namely, the laying on of fantastic nights by enthusiastic music-loving promoters all working hard to reach......

Whether you're already a veteran or you're yet to see any of the wonder that is Trapped in the Closet, we can't think of a single better way to recommend spending your Sunday than with a day filled with R Kelly and rap. Unlikely as it may sound R Kelly's musical opera has become something of a worldwide sensation and Londonist can heartily recommend it as a wide-eyed treat. DJ Patchwork Pirates are obviously......

A night of clubbing is as much about the music you want to hear as it is the experience you hope to get out of it. Whilst there are endless opportunities to don your best threads and brave the night buses to see and be seen, we prefer to come as we are, get sweaty and get down. With their irresistible selection of post-punk and electro classics and obscurities, Our Disco ticks all our......

A slap on the wrist for Londonist - we're three days late in previewing this year's Oxjam music festival, and we haven't even got a "dog ate our homework" excuse to cover our blushes. Must try harder next time. So what is Oxjam? It's only the most fun you're ever likely to have raising money for charity. Throughout October, thousands of budding Michael Eavis's are promoting gigs and club nights across the country. Working......

Londonist appears to have spent all of our money on excellent but expensive gigs and over priced taxi fares this weekend. So once again, we've got no money. No, before you ask, we haven't ever heard of budgeting. We don't need to budget when there's all this exciting free stuff to be done this week: Monday: With so many other cool kid bars around in East London, the Rhythm Factory doesn't get written about......

This Feeling has been making waves in the indie world since late last year. Held monthly at the oh so stylish Parker McMillan in EC1, the night aims to "merge contemporary indie aesthetics with the underground refuge of Parker McMilian in order to create a night that will be truly big". It lands this month on Friday (28 September) starring Oasis' Andy Bell DJing, The Rifles and The Lea Shores performing acoustic sets and......

After following up a superb night with The Field by bringing Gui Boratto a few months later, Allez-Allez have fastly become one of our favourite club promoters. If we're not dancing to the best in minimal techno at one of their Plastic People events, then we're likely downloading one of the many installments in their excellent podcast mix series. This Wednesday, Sam and Steve return to Plastic People with techno superduo Supermayer (Superpitcher + Michael......

We're adamant that this week we're going to pretend it's still Summer. We're not content with sitting in watching the telly. We want to go out and play. But if we're going to do this every night this week, we're going to have to do it for very few pennies indeed. Here's the free stuff we've found this week: Tuesday: We tried really hard but we can't find you any free theatre for Tuesday.......

It's not every night you get to hang out with Tinkerbell, Snow White and Red Riding Hood. But then, Rockaberet isn't your usual night out (where would be the fun in that?). We've told you a bit about it before, but we decided that as it's so much fun, we needed to show you what you were missing. And if you weren't at the Fairy Tale Ball on Saturday, you missed a great show.......
