High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The BBC Electric Proms is a music festival run by the BBC held during October in London 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. Primarily 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. For example, acoustic events take place at Cecil Sharp House. In 2008 in acknowledgement of its status as European Capital of Culture, events were be staged in both Liverpool and London.
