Which dates have the strongest choice?
Friday 18 September has the clearest split between two kinds of show. The Molotovs are at Arts Club on Seel Street, while the Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute is a few streets away at Camp and Furnace.
Saturday 19 September has Forever Springsteen at Camp and Furnace, and Sunday 20 September gives you the longest event in this list, with Weller Day running most of the afternoon and evening.
The final week of the month is strongest for smaller-room shows. Courds start their Jacaranda residency on 25 September and Gallus play The Jacaranda on 29 September.
