Royal Albert Hall
From £8
Another year, another spectacular line-up of classical music. This year, the orchestral extravaganza will feature 86 concerts across eight weeks, with over 3,000 artists taking to the stage, with the majority of the action taking place inside the grand surroundings of London’s Royal Albert Hall.
There'll be the chance to hear visiting ensembles from all over the world, including The Met Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Mahler Academy Orchestra and the Spanish National Orchestra, as well as innumerable concerts and recitals from the classic music world's biggest stars. There's also a renewed focus on more modern music styles, with celebrations of musical icons including Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye, the first ever Prog Rock Prom, and psychedelic rock from Grammy-nominated Dutch-Turkish band Altın Gün.
Ticket prices start at £10 (with half-price tickets for under-18s ), and Promming day standing tickets are £8. Booking ahead is recommended. All performances will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer, too.
