BBC Proms in the Park 2018: Date, line up, location and everything you need to know

This year’s BBC Proms come to a close tomorrow after two months.

But the Royal Albert Hall isn’t the only place you can enjoy the festivities. Proms in the Park is the largest outdoor classical music event in Britain, and takes place in Hyde Park at 5pm on Saturday September 8.

Michael Ball returns as host, with solo musical performances from soul icon Gladys Knight, Josh Groban, Joseph Calleja, Matt Goss, Lisa Stansfield and Albert Hammond.

A new addition to this year’s celebration, the traditional Last Night of the Proms anthems, such as Pomp and Circumstance and Land of Hope and Glory, will be performed live on the Hyde Park stage by the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Richard Balcombe.

The UK’s largest contemporary choir with 27,000 members (only 100 will be performing) Rock Choir will bring a singalong set, while the cast of Bat Out of Hell present the anthems of Meat Loaf on the backdrop of a postapocalyptic kingdom.
