The Somerset House courtyard has been transformed into an open-air gig destination for the Summer Series.

The Somerset House courtyard has been transformed into an open-air gig destination for the Summer Series.

This July, over the course of 11 nights, inspiring artists are hitting the stage - including iconic singer John Legend and many more.

A mini festival in the heart of London, Tuesday night’s performance did not disappoint, which was kicked off by west London star Arlo Parks.

The 21-year-old has risen to fame ever since 2018 with her hit single Cola.

As the sun set over Somerset House, there was an array of swaying sunflowers in the audience bringing the summery feel to the concert.

Arlo gave it her all with vibrant and upbeat dance moves, as she had the audience completely captivated by her performance.

The Londoner set things off with Cola as her second song, but plenty more bangers followed including Eugene, Too Good and Softly.

Georgie Rutherford, a devoted Arlo Parks, fan said: “It was the perfect summer evening, listening to soothing songs that will be stuck in my head for days.”
