A special concert will take place in May to mark the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The Coronation Concert will take place on Sunday, 7th May – the day after the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey.
Produced, staged and broadcast live by the BBC, the concert will bring together the biggest names in music from across the globe for the historic occasion.
Many thousands of members of the public will be invited to apply for tickets, with the ballot opening at a later date.
Alongside the stars of the concert, the show will also see an exclusive appearance from The Coronation Choir. This diverse group will be created from the nation’s keenest community choirs and amateur singers from across the United Kingdom, such as Refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf signing choirs.
A new documentary exploring the formation of The Coronation Choir will tell the stories of the people representing the many faces and voices of the country. The Coronation Choir will appear alongside The Virtual Choir, made up of singers from across the Commonwealth, for a special performance on the night.
The centrepiece of the Coronation Concert, ‘Lighting up the Nation’, will see the country join together in celebration as iconic locations across the United Kingdom are lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations.
