London has been named Europe's live music capital, beating major cities from across the continent after it hosted nearly 20,000 concerts last year. There were a total of 19,940 live music events in the capital in 2016, according to a study published by IQ Magazine from data compiled by concert website Songkick. That was more than San Francisco (13,672), Paris (11,248) and Chicago (11,224), as well as world-renowned live music hub Austin, Texas (6,781).
Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed the capital’s “world-class” music venues, telling IQ Magazine: “London’s buzzing live music scene is world-renowned, having produced artists from Adele to Ed Sheeran, The Clash to The Rolling Stones.
“In London, we have some of the greatest places to catch a live gig – from world-class arenas to amazing grassroots music venues - and it is little wonder that music lovers come from across the globe to enjoy our city’s incredible nightlife.”

Is there a disconnect between Arts Council England and the contemporary music sector? Following the latest national portfolio funding announcement, Jon Chapple asks some questions.
Prince: A lust for live
Prince, who died on Monday aged 57, was many things to many people: A sex symbol who defied social, racial and gender norms; a self-taught musicians’ musician who mastered “thousands” of instruments, including bass, piano, drums, various synthesisers and percussion and – of course – guitar; an early advocate for artists’ rights who fought his major label, Warner Bros, for ownership and artistic control of his own music.
To many in the concert business, however, Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson on 7 June 1958) will be remembered for the joy he took from simply playing live. Standing only 5’2″ tall, Nelson was nevertheless a giant on stage, a combination of his charisma, sex appeal, dazzling musical chops (an apocryphal tale has Eric Clapton, when asked what’s it like to be the best guitar player alive, responding: “I don’t know; ask Prince”) and four-inch high heels lending the diminutive singer, songwriter and producer a towering stage presence that transcended mere inches.
Read IQ’s tribute to Prince – “a pioneering live performer who changed the face of the concert industry forever” – in full here.
