I’m very lucky in that my job sends me to London about every three months for about a week at a time. I am going over in early September for a week, and what is unusual this time is that one of my buddies is going to be there as well on business, and our travel dates overlap.

So, we figured, hey lets find some live music to go see one night.

Here in the US, I would use the BandsinTown app to search by date, and would get a list of every performer, regardless of style of music. Is there an equivalent in the UK? My google-fu has failed me.

App or website?
