November has settled in and the week ahead leans indoors, which suits it fine: warm rooms, strong bills, and plenty worth booking before the weekend. The headline is MUNA at the Olympia, already sold out, so if you missed it there’s a run of heavier nights at The Academy to console you. Here’s what to line up.
