BBC Electric Proms 2008

London and Liverpool - Philharmonic Hall, and Barfly, England
various from free to £25

The BBC Electric Proms festival which this year takes place at various venues in London, and Liverpool for the first time this year from Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th of October 2008 has announced the addition of Santogold to the line-up.

Santogold will be supporting The Streets at London's Roundhouse on Thursday 23rd October. She also performed at the event last year with Mark Ronson, and will be appearing on stage accompanied by a DJ and a team of dancers.

Over 60 acts will be playing as part of the 2008 BBC Electric Proms - including performances from Burt Bacharach, Goldfrapp, Keane and Chaka Khan in London and Razorlight, Last Shadow Puppets and Tony Christie in Liverpool.

Tickets are on sale, to buy them click here.

The shows will be broadcast across BBC Radio and TV as well as via the red button. Complete performances will also be available to watch online at bbc.co.uk/electricproms.

The venues for the event are in Liverpool - the Philharmonic Hall, Barfly and BBC Radio Merseyside. In London, shows will return to venues across Camden including the Roundhouse, Barfly, KOKO, Dingwalls and the Electric Ballroom. The festival features separate line-ups in the two cities.

The idea for this event is to allow artists to perform something a bit different, whether it be a performance of rare tracks, a unique collaboration or a cross bridging of genres.
