The modern concert-goer has no problem switching effortlessly from Mahler to The Man Who Fell to Earth. On this “Super Friday” the Austrian composer’s monumental and otherworldly Symphony No 3 is followed by the Late Night Prom featuring musicians’ collective s t a r g a z e in a tribute to David Bowie, whose music, up until his death this year, is revisited in new arrangements with guest artists.

  • PROMMING

    The BBC proms wouldn’t be the proms without promming. Before each concert, up to 1350 £5 unreserved standing spaces are made available, both in the Royal Albert Hall’s pit and on the top circle. This gives you a chance to attend sold-out performances and catch world-class music for pocket change.

    You'll need to arrive before the concert and queue outside the hall. The time this takes depends on the concert – expect over an hour for a hot ticket – but it’s unusual for the hall to fill completely. When the queue reaches a certain length, attendants hand out raffle tickets, which allow you to retain your place in line if you leave and return within thirty minutes.
