London is bursting with energy this week so get ready to make the most of these summer days. Listeners looking for theatre should head to the Globe where Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night takes over the stage with its wild tale of mistaken identity. Over at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre, Brigadoon invites you into an enchanted Scottish village, while the kids will be giggling at the musical adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Enormous Crocodile.

Drama fans will want to check out Born With Teeth, a fierce new play about Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe’s legendary rivalry, while Martin Shaw steps into the role of Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons at the Theatre Royal. Comedy gets a boost with an all-star cast in Every Brilliant Thing, featuring Lenny Henry and Sue Perkins—expect equal measures of laughter and emotional punch.

If you want to dance, this Friday is made for you. Madison’s rooftop near St Paul’s hosts the Ibiza Orchestra with DJs and live musicians, delivering those sunny White Isle vibes right to central London. Swifties can rejoice as Swiftogeddon, the ultimate Taylor Swift club night, brings four hours of hit tracks to Between the Bridges on the South Bank.

London is also rolling out some spectacular live music—Blackpink’s Deadline World Tour lands at Wembley Stadium on Friday and Saturday, promising massive festival energy and a global K-pop celebration. Victoria Park will be shaking with the opening weekend of All Points East, where Chase & Status, RAYE, The Maccabees, and Cleo Sol top the bill. The festival’s free community programme, In The Neighbourhood, brings art, music, street food and family fun from Sunday through to Wednesday.

For a dose of culture, tour the ancient Canonbury Tower in Islington, or roam Chelsea’s Walled Garden on a late summer evening. Anybody keen for history can catch free talks at the National Army Museum or view rare manuscripts or explore Victorian cottages with live archeological digs. Over at Fenton House, there’s an evening of queer fantastical performances, while St Paul’s Cathedral is opening for special serene late-night visits.

Families and cartoon buffs may want to spend a day at the Cartoon Museum with its Cats in Cartoons exhibition—kids and under-18s get in for free until early September, and there are drop-in cartoon workshops to inspire everyone’s inner artist.

Rounding out the week, football fans can catch Tottenham Hotspur’s home game, while fans of unique music can enjoy a Queen vs ABBA candlelit concert in the stunning Southwark Cathedral on Saturday evening.
