Electronic and alternative acts in Greenwich

Overmono, the Welsh electronic duo, will perform at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich on 7 August.

Peggy Gou will also play the Old Royal Naval College on 2 August. The pop-house artist’s Labyrinth on the Thames event is billed as a homecoming, with bespoke production and handpicked support acts, including PROSPA and Kelly Lee Owens. Time Out London described the event as a defining moment for Gou’s signature sun-soaked sound.

Tooth, an alternative rock band, will play The Lower Third on 13 August. Time Out London reported that the group has gained support from NME and BBC 6 Music, with a following built through zines and live CDs for fans.

Tickets for all 15 concerts are available now through the venues’ official websites or resale platforms. Time Out London provided direct links for each event, with no details yet on whether additional dates will be added.
