La Linea - The London Latin Music Festival – has unveiled a second wave of shows for its twenty-fourth edition this April. Celebrating all corners of the diverse and increasingly popular Latin music world, this year’s event will host an array of specially curated shows across the Capital from 12 - 22 April. The biggest celebration of Latin music and culture in London will this year welcome to the Jazz Café on Saturday 20 April Desta French & Friends as part of Latinas of London - a line-up of independent Latina artists who weave their Latin American heritage and British upbringing into their own unique form of music influenced by jazz, hip hop and cumbia.
Baque Luar.
Frequent collaborators, and two of Rio de Janeiro’s most forward-thinking musicians, Domenico Lancellotti and Ricardo Dias Gomes bring a brand new Rio samba sound with elements of funk and psychedelia to Cafe Oto on 21 April while fellow Brazilians, and one of the most important groups to come out of the Manguebeat movement in the 1990s, Nacao Zumbi play the Jazz Café on 22 April experimenting with rock, punk, funk, hip hop, soul, Pernambuco’s regional rhythms and other forms of Brazilian traditional music. The newly announced acts join the likes of multimillion album-selling Norteño group Los Tigres del Norte (performing their first ever UK show), Mexican-American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential artists in Latin America Lila Downs, Argentinian Nu Cumbia singer-songwriter La Yegros presenting her combination of electronica and psychedelic sounds with musical traditions from Argentinian culture.

It's Halloween this weekend and London's clubs have stretched the celebration across four days. There are warehouse parties in the Royal Docks, all-night sets in Canning Town, a singeli and batida night in Peckham and a Sunday daytime session that carries the weekend through to the evening. Here is what we would book.
Never has there been a better reason than the pleasure of art to drag you out of the house during what we can only predict will be a dreary November. If you’re looking to jump back in time, an upcoming exhibition at the V&A is set to include hundreds of relics from Istanbul’s yesteryears…

Frieze week brought more than Frieze itself to London this October. A run of new art fairs debuted across the city, each with its own model, its own price bracket and its own idea of who it was for. Minor Attractions also returned for a fourth edition, this time in a new venue. We asked Darren of London Art Roundup to provide a short synopsis of each
As Frieze draws to a close, FLO London turns its attention across the Channel to the fairs unfolding alongside Paris Art Week, and to what this November’s Paris Photo has in store. Whether you’ve already planned your next trip on the Eurostar or need some convincing, we’re here to tell you Art Basel isn’t the only fair you should have on your radar…
There is a live band at Village Underground, a late night in a corner of Somerset House most people walk past, a Berlin-based producer playing a full night on his own in New Cross, and two of the biggest Saturday line-ups of the autumn go head to head in Camden and the Royal Docks. One of them is already sold out. Here is what to book.

Few things are more English than afternoon tea, and Frieze week is as good a time as any to book one. It has been part of English life since the 1840s, when the Duchess of Bedford started asking for tea and bread and butter to fill the long gap between lunch and dinner. It moved from a private habit to a social occasion to a national one, and nearly two centuries on it is booked more than ever…
The busiest week in London's art calendar is back. Frieze London and Frieze Masters open in The Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October. Outside of the fairs, the gallery hopping, the drinks and the dinners, here is your guide to where you are going after, from a fabric birthday weekender…
If you want a brief history of Western modern art, Painting the French Riviera at the Royal Academy of Arts is unexpectedly good for that. Featuring all your favourite names from Claude Monet to Pablo Picasso, the exhibition examines why artists were lured by the Côte d'Azur and its brilliant blue seas in the South of France.
Frieze London and Frieze Masters return to The Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October. Here are fifteen places to eat, and the art to see within walking distance of each table…
Four nights, six postcodes, and not a single one of them in zone 1 until Sunday. An opera rebuilt as a club record in a Tottenham warehouse, a 2010s fever dream in New Cross, Eric Prydz back in the city after six years away, and six uninterrupted hours of the Martinez Brothers at fabric to finish. Below are all the music events we'd go to in London this weekend.
Bloc is back for one night in March 2027, marking twenty years since the first Bloc Weekender and ten since the last. The reunion will take over The Cause in Docklands on Saturday 6 March. The first wave of artists has just been announced…
Nothing beats London during Frieze Week. Every October, an infectious buzz settles over the city as galleries, institutions, brands and even bars and clubs all throw their weight behind art and culture. We wanted to whet your cultural appetite by drawing your attention to a variety of exhibitions to sink your teeth into that go far beyond the fair’s traditional white tent set-up.
Renoir and Love opens at the National Gallery, bringing together the artist's multifigure compositions in the first exhibition to focus on this part of his work.

We spoke to Holly Shires, Global Head of Creative at Winsor & Newton and the mind behind the project…
The first Oktoberfest was held in Munich in October 1810 to mark the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.
