Arcadia London
May 5-6, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, E20 (0871 220 0260, bitly.com/arcadia_london)
While Glastonbury takes 2018 off, its giant metal spider will be shooting fireballs in London instead. Performance art collective Arcadia is taking over the Olympic Park, with dance veterans Leftfield the first music act to be revealed.
Pearl Jam
June 18-19, O2 Arena, SE10 (0844 824 4824, the02.co.uk)
The grunge giants’ only album since 2013 was a concert recording, so why not play some more concerts? They’ll be touring Europe next summer.
