Birmingham NEC hosts Lakeside Proms
Music will drift across the lake at the NEC resort this summer as two big nights of entertainment take place across a weekend in August.
Lakeside Proms is the perfect intimate setting for an outdoor summer’s evening with the internationally recognised Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The orchestra have performed in major concert venues across the UK and around the world and 2018 will see them performing for two nights in the resort’s latest outdoor setting.
August 4 will see a night of Symphonic Rock played for fans, while the following evening sees Hollywood hit the lake as The Music of John Williams takes over.
The first evening allows fans to hear their musical heroes come to life for one epic night in this must-see show of classic rock anthems. The open air show will feature a spectacular light show to accompany the iconic music of Queen, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, The Eagles and many more, followed by a finale firework display.
And on August 5, The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra celebrates the musical brilliance of John Williams, undoubtedly one of the world's most prolific and respected film composers. As the most Oscar-nominated man alive, John Williams has unleashed the power of the film score in over 75 blockbuster classics.
In this action-packed open air show, legendary film tunes include Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Harry Potter, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Hook, Fiddler on the Roof, Home Alone, War Horse and many more, followed by another finale firework display.
Gates will open at 5pm on both evenings with a vast selection of food and drink vendors to suit all tastes. Finish time on both nights will be 10pm. No food or drink can be brought into the event. Picnic blankets and fold up chairs are welcome, but no gazebos or tents are permitted.
