Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead


Tuesday 19th July

Ólafur Arnalds @ Queen Elizabeth Hall

Hailing from the same town as Sigur Ros, Ólafur Arnalds is a one man music scene, combining progressive indie pop with a considered, almost classical approach to songwriting and arrangements.

Thursday 21st July
Vivian Girls @ XOYO

Straight outa Brooklyn, the Vivian Girls are an indie post-punk group who produce music that's strongly influenced by both grunge and messy lo-fi retro pop. Think a hazy, dreamy Bikini Kill making like the Beach Boys and you won't be far off.

Saturday 23rd July – Sunday 24th July
I’ll Be Your Mirror @ Alexandra Palace

Bringing the buzz of an ATP festival right to our doorstep, I’ll Be Your Mirror is a ridicoulsy awesome two day fest curated by seminal trip hop duo Portishead and featuring sets from Grinderman, PJ Harvey, Liars and Beach House.
