Some artists, three-nights-at-a-venue is a residency. For the current iteration of Pete Doherty, it's more like wearing out your welcome in advance. Still, for those who still are interested, three nights at the Rhythm Factory in London.

It's not just Alexa Chung who is embarking on an exciting but time-limited new American career: Art Brut are setting up an LA residency - four nights at Spaceland in mid-June, added to previously announced spells in New York and Chicago.

Unlike Alexa, Art Brut's audience will actually have a clue who they are.
