About
Anticipation is building as the 2024 BBC Proms, dubbed ‘the world's greatest classical music festival’, comes one step closer with the opening of the box office tomorrow, May 18th. It certainly has a unique and informal atmosphere, thanks to the popular tradition of ‘Promming’ (standing in the Arena or Gallery areas of the Royal Albert Hall), enabling audiences to see leading artists from around the world for only £8.
The 130th Proms season promises eight weeks of diverse and captivating programmes at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and beyond. This year, the Proms expands to include weekend festivals in Bristol, Nottingham, and Gateshead, as well as chamber concerts in Aberdeen, Belfast and Newport.
