The BBC Proms 2025, set to run from July 18 to September 13, promises to be a spectacular celebration of classical music, with over 3,000 artists taking part across 86 concerts. With a lineup featuring renowned international orchestras, world premieres, and standout solo performances, this year’s festival is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.
The season will feature 72 concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and 14 special Proms at venues across the UK.

Solo debuts from acclaimed artists such as pianist Yunchan Lim, violinist Hilary Hahn, and soprano Golda Schultz will captivate audiences, while legendary figures like Sir András Schiff and Sir Simon Rattle take the stage for landmark performances.
One of the most anticipated events is the return of the overnight Prom, curated by Anna Lapwood, featuring an eclectic mix of performances by artists including pianist Hayato Sumino and cellist Anastasia Kobekina.

For opera lovers, the Proms will present major productions, including Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District in collaboration with the BBC Philharmonic and English National Opera, as well as Glyndebourne’s new production of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. The BBC Singers will perform throughout the season, showcasing their vast repertoire across various Proms, including the First and Last Nights.
The BBC Proms will also celebrate significant anniversaries, including the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich's death with a special series of his works, and composer Joe Hisaishi's Proms debut, where he will conduct the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in his symphony inspired by the Hiroshima tragedy.
