93 Feet East, 150 Brick Lane, Whitechapel, E1 6RU

Live Music: , Electro, Indie, Techno/Minimal

How Much: £8.00 (Advance Tickets)
Concrete and Glass eh? It'd sure be pretty tough to build a city without those two little babies. To celebrate the East in all its ostensibly gritty glory, Concrete and Glass is a two-day festival of live music and arty happenings taking place across 18 music venues, a load of galleries and over 30 'alternative sites' - i.e. disused shops, warehouses and the like.

Although the East does seem to spend a lot of time celebrating itself these days, this actually looks good. The art's all organised by Flora Fairbairn and people like Mark Neville, Tony Gill, Gavin Turk, Chosil Kil and Liliane Lijn are all involved. So that's cool.
