Posted on April 23, 2012April 23, 2012 by worldcityguides

London is for sure one of the most amazing places on earth to live. Within the coming months hot events will take place in the city such as the two Lady GaGa concerts, Andre Rieu will come, Coldplay will come, Madonna will come, Hard Rock Calling will be arranged in Hyde Park and lots of other goodies are also planned. But, not along ago a new event was announced, and this might in fact beat all the others. Capital FM Summertime Ball is THE event to visit in London in 2012. Why? There will be thousands of people as the Wembley Stadium is packed with people ready to party on in the sunshine on June 9th. If it gets packed you might expect more than 100,000 people to be there at the Capital FM Summertime Ball on June 9th. But, why should so many people come to London for this event?

Well, on that day you will be able to see live and listen to: Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Usher, Example, Jessie J and Ed Sheraan. Do you get it now? This will be one of the hottest events in Europe this year, and you are hereby invited to check it out yourself. Only one week earlier Coldplay will arrange two concerts in London, but for this event you will not only hear Coldplay, but all the other artists mentioned as well.

IF you would like to be there at Capital FM Summertime Ball you better grab hold of your tickets (order them) as soon as possible, and then start counting down the days until the event takes place.

There will also be other artists in addition to the ones mentioned, so you have plenty of reasons to come to this event. Last year, in 2011, visitors could listen to for example: Jennifer Lopez, JLS, Ne-Yo, The Wanted, Grime princess Katy B, “Forget You”‘s Cee- Lo Green, Jessie J, Mike Posner, Example and Wretch 32.

The event will last for a day, but at the stadium you can buy food, drinks and everything you need should be able to get there.

Everyone who likes classical music have heard about Andre Rieu. He is an amazing musician, but only a great musician, he is also a great musician and a stand-up comedian in the same person. He is known to always carry a smile around his mouth, and in between the different pieces of beautiful classical music, small jokes are told and the audience enjoy the atmosphere and get a good laugh at the same time.

In 2012 this guy, Andre Rieu, will come to in the O2 Arena twice, on December 16th and December 17th. So, why not plan a trip to London before Christmas where you visit some of the Christmas markets, buy some presents, and then enjoy this amazing concert. Maybe this could be a pre-Christmas gift to a beloved one? Andre Rieu will visit quite a lot of cities all around Europe this autumn, for example Amsterdam on November 30th.

On September 8th she will enter the stage at the Twickenham Stadium. If you have not yet heard about the Twickenham Stadium, often known as Twickers, it is probably because you are not into rugby. The stadium is in fact the largest rugby stadium in the world, and the stadium now has a seating capacity of 82,000 people.

Radiohead London 2012

Posted on March 27, 2012October 17, 2022 by worldcityguides

Radiohead, the band consisting of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway will come to London in 2012 to perform twice in the O2 Arena. The arena has space for up to 20,000 spectators, so both of the Radiohead concerts will be crazy cool events, crowded and full of rhythms and rock’n roll. Formed in 1985 they have enjoyed an enormous popularity since the day it all started. In 2011 the band released their new album “The King of Limbs”. This album was album number 8 from the group, so we guess most songs at this Radiohead concert will be from that album, but some earlier hits can for sure be heard as well when Radiohead enters the stage in the O2 Arena in London.

The O2 Arena is located in the Greenwich area, but that can easily be reached from the city center of London using public transportation. If you are looking for other cool London activities to enjoy while in London, check out our page about London activities.

London is only one of the stops on the Radiohead tour in 2012. If you are looking for tickets for any of these concerts, either the one in London, or maybe the one in Paris, Rome or Amsterdam, use the links further down to grab hold of your tickets today.

Nicki Minaj London 2012

Posted on March 26, 2012January 2, 2014 by worldcityguides

Nicki Minaj will come to London in 2012 to perform in the Hammersmith Apollo, a semi-popular concert venue in the Hammersmith area of London. The Nicki Minaj concerts will be arranged on June 24th and on June 25th in the same venue, starting at 19:00 both evenings.

The Hammersmith Apollo have space for a bit more than 5000 people on the popular concerts with standing places only, so you should expect these concerts to be quite packed with up to 5000 people enjoying the music of Nicki Minaj together with you.

Nicki Minaj was born Onika Tanya Maraj on December 8th in 1982. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago, but quickly moved to the USA. She released her album Pink Friday in November 2010, and this concert will be presenting the best songs from that album together with other hits from Nicki Minaj. But, it will not only be songs from Pink Friday on this concert, because in April 2012 her newest album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” will be released, so this concert will probably mostly be about that album. Do not miss out on this cool upcoming event in the Hammersmith Apollo in London!

While in London, why not check out a rivercruise on the Themes?
