The BBC Electric Proms is a music festival run by the BBC held in London during October since 2006.
The name is taken from The Proms a classical music festival running since 1895 and maintains a few traditions from its counterpart such as the final night culminating in an interpretation of "Land of Hope and Glory". The musical performances at the festival typically involve Indie rock bands incorporating instruments outside of their usual arrangement, most commonly in the form of collaborations with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
The festival's headline acts play at The Roundhouse in Camden but events, which include a programme of film, are not limited to this venue.
This year's event will also take place in Liverpool, making it a dual city festival for the first time.
