Adele comes home, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis goes for broke, the Edinburgh fringe fires on all cylinders, and HBO and Amazon have a fantasy face-off… our critics pick the best of the new season’s arts
The return of the big American stars…
Whether postponed by Covid or just ready to see Europe again, US pop big-hitters are striding our way this summer. Billie Eilish, fresh off a deliriously received North American tour and Coachella performance, will be here in June (3-26). Lady Gaga’s world tour finally arrives in London in July (29-30), bearing her Chromatica album (2020) and a brand new Top Gun-themed single, Hold My Hand. August promises Christina Aguilera (2-5 August) embracing her Latina roots, and next generation star Noah Cyrus (Miley’s younger sister, 10-14 August), who releases her own debut album on 15 July.
