London Calling is set to return to Soho for the second year running as part of the 2024 International Live Music Conference in partnership with NME.

The showcase of unsigned music launched in the capital last year, with the likes of L’objectif, Demob Happy, Swim School and Delaporte taking to the stage across four intimate Soho venues.

Now, it has been confirmed that the London Calling showcase will be held in Soho once again on Wednesday, February 28.

The 2024 edition is set to bring 18 emerging artists to five stages across Soho: The 100 Club, 21 Soho, The Lower Third, Phoenix Arts Club and The Spice Of Life. Per a press release, the participating acts will “perform in front of a potentially career-changing crowd”.
