Join in the Last Night of the Proms celebrations in Hyde Park, as British pop legend Bryan Ferry heads a spectacular line-up including world-famous tenor Joseph Calleja with Proms in the Park favourites the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Richard Balcombe. Violin virtuoso Nigel Kennedy also makes a special appearance on the Hyde Park stage before hot-footing it to appear at the Last Night in the Royal Albert Hall – on the same night! Sir Terry Wogan presents the festivities and special guest Dame Edna Everage will be leading the traditional sing-a-long.
Presenter Tony Blackburn joins us again to get this year’s party under way, introducing a range of artists, including Blue, Red Hot Chilli Pipers and Craig Charles Fantasy Funk Band.
Proms in the Park sees the spectacular culmination of the BBC Proms season, as the world-famous Last Night celebrations spill out from London's Royal Albert Hall, and thousands of people come together at venues across the UK to be part of the magic of the Last Night.
Events are held in London, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Each show is centred around a live concert with its own high-profile artists, BBC orchestras and presenters. The evening culminates in a live big-screen link-up to the Royal Albert Hall for the traditional singalong.
