Upcoming creative events in Brent.
The Kilburn Music Mile Festival is back for its second year — now bigger and better as a 3-day celebration of music, culture and community along Kilburn High Road.
🎶 A Legacy Revived
Back in the 50s–70s, Kilburn was one of London’s great music hubs — the Gaumont State Theatre welcomed stars like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Shirley Bassey and The Rolling Stones, while pubs along the High Road thrummed with Irish folk, jazz, blues and Caribbean rhythms.
Today, we are bringing that energy back.
✨ Opening Night – Thursday 6 November (Ticketed)
Join us at the iconic Gaumont Theatre for a spectacular concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and special guests (to be announced).
💷 Tickets: £15
🎟 Earlybird offer: £5 (limited to first 200 buyers)
🎶 Festival Weekend – Friday 7 to Sunday 9 November (FREE)
The rest of the festival is completely free to attend. Across three days, enjoy:
Live gigs in pubs, theatres, and community venues along Kilburn High Road
Family-friendly workshops, talks, and cultural pop-ups
A vibrant celebration of Kilburn’s past, present, and future sound
👉 Important: Only the Opening Night Concert requires a ticket. The entire weekend festival is FREE
