There are three fantastic gigs happening in the city this week so, rather than write about one, i thought i’d let you know about all three. They are all international acts and there is one for the rockers, one for the hip-hoppers and one for the jazz heads. Click the button to find out more details.

First up, Baltimore born but UK based rapper IDK is playing the Exil tonight.

Thursday 8pm, Exil, Hardstrasse 245, 8005

Second up is the show from U.S. blues/rock band Vintage Trouble. The «Troublemakers» will be hitting the stage at X-Tra on Wednesday.

Wednesday 7pm, X-Tra, Limmatstrasse 118, 8005

Finally, refreshed after the US leg of his world tour, is Jazz «wunderkind» and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier. The gig is sold out, (which is why i mentioned it last,)  but you might have a chance to win the final two tickets here.

Monday 7pm, Kaufleuten, Pelikanplatz 8001
