The Swedish Duo "First Aid Kit" tribute act will be in London City this Saturday.
The Swedish band formed in 2012, but it was not until their breakthrough single "Emmylou", that they received fame and interest in their back catalogue.
They have released four albums, four EPs and several singles. In 2015, they were nominated for a Brit Award as one of the five best international groups and were nominated again in 2019. They are a musical women's activist group, who specialise in clever and alluring vocal harmonies.
The Party in the Park begins at 12pm SL (8pm UK) with the Concert an hour later.

The Fratellis in Concert in London City, this Saturday from 12pm SL time (8pm UK).
The Fratellis burst on to the scene in 2006 with their debut album Costello Music spawning 5 singles with sales of over 1.5 million. The band toured the record internationally, playing shows in Europe, the United States and Japan, and won the 2007 BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act.
The band consists of three unrelated members, who perform under pseudonyms: Jon Fratelli (lead vocalist and guitarist), Barry Fratelli (bassist) and Mince Fratelli (drummer).
Despite solo projects, the band has produced five more albums and the on stage band now includes Will Foster (keyboards), a brass section and the Wild Tonics provide harmonies for a fuller sound.
If you only know them for Chelsea Dagger, then you've been missing out on so much that the Fratellis have to offer.
We're having a sing-a-long party with Mavis Cock (who later became Judith Durham).
The Seekers were an Australian up-tempo folk/pop quartet, formed in 1962.
They were the first Australian pop group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The group had Top 10 hits in the 1960s with I'll Never Find Another You, A World of Our Own, Morningtown Ride and Georgy Girl. The Carnival Is Over is still one of the top 50 best-selling singles of all time in the UK.
Reformed in the late 1990's, The Seekers were still regularly performing until 2015. However due to the ill health of lead singer Judith Durham, the band had to end their farewell tours after the show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, when Judith's declining health had become obvious.
Last year a new show on Broadway called Georgy Girl, telling the musical story of the band reignited interest in the group. Judith Durham lived to see the incredible resurgence of interest in talent. She died on 5th August 2022 and the world lost one of the most amazing voices ever, but her legacy continues.
Enjoy The Seekers in London City on Saturday. Party starts at 12pm SL time (8pm UK) with the show an hour later.
Shortly before her death, Judith Durham released Acapella album demonstrating that she had retained nearly all of her beautiful voice, despite suffering a brain bleed earlier the same year, but the concert in London City features Judith at her absolute best.
Well, Saturday night at eight o'clock, I know where I'm gonna go... To the Drifters Concert in London City and hopefully, being mid-month the weather will be fantastic!

The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo. They were the worlds
biggest selling group of the 1970's.
Although only
mainly active for that single decade, by the time of Karen's death in 1983 aged
just 32, ten of their singles become million-sellers and by the millenium over
100 million albums had been sold.
"Calling Occupants
of Interplanetary Craft", is the recognised anthem of World Contact Day which
happens in March each year, where the song is constantly broadcast by satellites
into outer space.
Join us for The Carpenters in
Concert. Party in the Park starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) and features songs from
the era and The Carpenters in Concert begins an hour later at 1pm SL.
Passenger was originally a Brit folk/rock band formed in 2003.
When they
split up in 2007, lead singer Mike Rosenberg continued his career as a solo
artist under the name of Passenger, busking his way around Europe and
appearing at fringe festivals.
Then suddenly in 2013 year he exploded onto
the scene with three chart topping songs in quick succession, Let her Go,
The Wrong Direction and Holes.
Having written over 200
songs, Passenger is receiving the critical acclaim that eluded the band for so
long.

This weekend in London City, we're holding a "Revival". A toe-tapping high tempo, deep south, Gospel concert, starring our versions of Jan Crouch and Tammy Faye Bakker as hosts, with Vestal Goodman (known as Vestal Virgin) as the lead performer in our show.
In America, selling God is a multi-billion dollar, tax free business, raking in wealth for its televangelists, unimaginable even by the most famous of performers.
Each week millions of people tune into crying preachers who offer everything from cures for terminal illnesses to guarantees of making you as rich as them, so long as you send them your hard earned cash on a regular basis.
The premise being that God is a bit strapped for cash and that a mighty oak will grow from the acorn you plant.
Perpetually embroiled in scandals of racketeering, prostitution and embezzlement, it is also a cut throat business with each ministry condemning other ministries and producing evidence on each other, as they compete for the prize fund of your money.
Kenneth Copeland - Benny Hinn - Robert Tilton
Top of the tree is Kenneth Copeland, with a tax free estimated worth of over a billion dollars, a fleet of private jets and his own airport, all used for spreading the word of the ministry... and holidays.
Every so often things go wrong, as it did in 1987 for Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, who were the original Satellite Televangelists. Jim was found guilty of mail fraud and sent to prison for 47 years, but paroled just 5 years later. His mistake was to oversell time-share stays at Heritage USA, a city he had built to spread the good word.
Since the Bakkers mistakes, other televangelists have stopped offering tangible assets and instead offer to use their own hot line direct to God (who speaks to them constantly) to get you the things you want. Since this cannot be measured, its all perfectly legal and profitable in the extreme!
However, with such extreme stakes involved, the production value of the shows produced by each ministry is paralleled only by Walt Disney studios.
Our Revival concert highlights the very best of the glitz and glamour you can expect as your sins are melted away. It is tongue in cheek, has a free bar with hard liquor, the occasional hooker for our preachers and lots of crying.
We are not poking fun at people's beliefs, we are however aiming to lambaste the highest paying entertainment job in the world.
Starts 12pm SL (8pm UK) with 'The Hungry Goodmans' on stage from 1pm SL time.
Easter is almost here! It begins on Thursday evening and goes right on to Monday night!
In the UK, Friday and Monday are Bank Holidays (Public holidays), so keep an eye out for special offers on grog, as all the supermarkets reduce their prices to encourage a good old fashioned Drinkathon to celebrate baby Jebus going to meet his maker.
All our bars, clubs, speakeasies and dens are open through the holidays as the good lord would want.
The big show is on Saturday at 12pm SL time. Tammy Faye Bakker, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Vestal Goodman, Jan Crouch, Happy Harold Goodman take to the stage for the annual revival!
Perhaps one of the most iconic looks of the 1960's belongs to singer Dusty Springfield, with her white backcombed hair and thick eyeliner. It was a look that so many have tried to emulate.
Dusty, hit the charts in 1963 with I Only Want To Be With You, and from that moment on both sides of the Atlantic, a star was born. She followed her first hit up with many more, including Wishin' and Hopin', I Only Want To Be With You, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, and Son of A Preacher Man and many many more.
Dusty is appearing in London City on Saturday and the party starts at 1pm SL time (8pm UK), with the show an hour later at 2pm SL time.
Clocks go forward tonight in Europe and UK. Back not normal times next week.
