London Calling Festival

The two-day festival London Calling showcases promising bands and artists at Paradiso twice a year. What started in 1992 as a launchpad to mainland Europe for British bands (Blur, Slowdive, Placebo) has grown over more than 30 years into a showcase festival for artists from all over the world. Over the years, acts like Blur, Slowdive, Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital, Tame Impala, Japanese Breakfast, and more recently Wet Leg, The Last Dinner Party, STONE, and Heartworms have played Paradiso before outgrowing the venue. Thanks to its sharp programming, it has earned a reputation as a ‘discovery festival’—spot the next big act here before they become too big for such an intimate setting.
