The two-day festival London Calling presents promising bands and artists twice a year at Paradiso. What began in 1992 as a springboard to the European mainland for British bands (Blur, Slowdive, Placebo) has grown over more than 30 years into a showcase festival for bands from all over the world. Over the years, acts such as Blur, Slowdive, Fontaines DC, Florence + The Machine, The Murder Capital, Tame Impala, Japanese Breakfast, and more recently Wet Leg, The Last Dinner Party, STONE, Royel Otis, and Flipturn have been booked at Paradiso before they long outgrew the venue. Thanks to this sharp programming, it has built a reputation as a 'discovery festival'; discover the next big act here before they become too big for such an intimate setting.
