are you seriously trying to compare a city of less than a million people to one of the worlds busiest cities with nearly 24 million people living in and around it?

London has numerous venues for rock and pop concerts, including the world's busiest arena the O2 arena[354] and other large arenas such as Earls Court, Wembley Arena, as well as many mid-sized venues, such as Brixton Academy, the Hammersmith Apollo and the Shepherd's Bush Empire.[345] Several music festivals, including the Wireless Festival, South West Four, Lovebox, and Hyde Park's British Summer Time are all held in London.[355] The city is home to the original Hard Rock Cafe and the Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded many of their hits. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, musicians and groups like Elton John, Pink Floyd, Cliff Richard, David Bowie, Queen, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, The Small Faces, Iron Maiden, Fleetwood Mac, Elvis Costello, Cat Stevens, The Police, The Cure, Madness, The Jam, Ultravox, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Dusty Springfield, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Adam Ant, Status Quo and Sade, derived their sound from the streets and rhythms of London.[356]
London was instrumental in the development of punk music,[357] with figures such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash,[356] and Vivienne Westwood all based in the city. More recent artists to emerge from the London music scene include George Michael's Wham!, Kate Bush, Seal, the Pet Shop Boys, Bananarama, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bush, the Spice Girls, Jamiroquai, Blur, McFly, The Prodigy, Gorillaz, Bloc Party, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith, Ellie Goulding, One Direction and Florence and the Machine.[358][359][360] London is also a centre for urban music. In particular the genres UK garage, drum and bass, dubstep and grime evolved in the city from the foreign genres of hip hop and reggae, alongside local drum and bass. Music station BBC Radio 1Xtra was set up to support the rise of local urban contemporary music both in London and in the rest of the United Kingdom

big deal you listed a bunch bands from your muslim ran country who cares? all those same bands come here. except for the ones that are dead and not relevant anymore. America dominates rock/pop/ and hip hop domestically.
im not saying the uk doesn't have a lot of musicians but per capita and per live shows compared to the rest of the world the us dominates but most specifically austin, tx. just a simple fact bromo -

http://kut.org/post/how-did-austin-become-live-music-capital-worldChances are you haven’t heard of Lillian Standfield, but when it comes to the "Live Music" nickname, Standfield left a big mark.
“I give 100 percent of the credit to Lillian Standfield for bringing it up and bringing it to the music commission,” says Nancy Coplin, the first chair of the Music Commission.

Coplin says sometime around 1991 she got a call from Standfield.
“She said, ‘You know, I just drove back from a gig in Houston, and as I pulled into Austin and saw the Austin city limits sign, I thought maybe we should have something that says 'Music Capital of Texas,’” she says.
The music commission looked at how many venues there were in Austin per capita and decided maybe "Live Music Capital" was a better claim. City Council Member Max Nofziger had recently helped create the music commission and was considered Austin music’s biggest champion at City Hall. Coplin called him with the slogan idea.
“I said, 'Well that’s good. I like that, but this is no time to be modest,'” Nofziger says. “So, how about if we become the 'Live Music Capital of the Universe'?"
Coplin was skeptical, suggesting the city didn't really have a way to gauge music on Mars.
Eventually, they settled on “Live Music Capital of the World" and brought it to a vote at City Hall. That means, if you look through City Council archives, you can find the exact moment in history – Aug. 29, 1991 – when Austin proclaimed itself the Live Music Capital of the World.
