There was a time when live music was accessible to everyone. In the 80s and 90s, you could catch legends like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, or Stevie Wonder in concert for less than £20. These were artists at their peak, delivering iconic performances that defined the era. Adjusting for inflation, those tickets would cost around 5 times more today—still far cheaper than the £100 to £200 or more that fans now pay to see acts. This shift in pricing reflects not only inflation but also the evolution of the concert industry, where production costs and monopolised ticketing systems have dramatically increased the cost of attending live shows.

Ah, what a scorching summer it has been in London, and boy, did we kick it off with a bang! Let's rewind the records and relive the musical magic that had us dancing till the sun went down!

June is a busy month filled with an abundance of events; live shows, nights out, and day parties galore now that the sun is out and festival season is underway.
