London England 2026-07-18


The Proms celebrates prog rock with BBC Radio 6 Music host Stuart Maconie, presenting brand-new orchestral arrangements of songs by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance and others.

Prog rock exploded the tight boundaries of pop music, amplifying it with new symphonic scope, ambition and influences, and creating spectacular visual and musical statements. The Proms celebrates this pioneering, British-driven movement in a concert celebrating classic tracks on an orchestral scale. Award-winning broadcaster and BBC Radio 6 Music host Stuart Maconie presents brand-new orchestral arrangements of music by ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance and others.
