ABOUT IMAGES  
What NextWhat Next is a live music event at Somerset House especially for 14 to 18 year olds - this'll be one of those rare occasions you'll need your undoctored ID to prove how young you are. The line-up includes the brilliant Wombats you'll bring their own unique brand of wonky pop to the spacious Somerset House courtyard. They're joined by 18 year old UK rapper Chipmunk (who won Best Newcomer at the MOBOs last year), Ms Dynamite, grime MC Ghetts - who performed at Glastonbury last year and whose debut dance single 'Sing 4 Me' came out on 9th March - and indie kids Lion Club. "These young cubs may only have an average age of 17, but their experimental minimalism and epic soundscapes have a mighty emotive roar," is how NME sums this lot up. With a line-up like this, Somerset House will be packed with teenagers running riot and singing at the top of their lungs about marsupials.

Ages 14-18
