Sam Smith at the Proms

A show-stopping concert from this pop powerhouse, including original classics alongside soulful cover versions.

For their only live UK concert of 2024, the soulful singer joins the BBC Concert Orchestra for a night the audience won’t forget. To mark ten years since the release of their record-breaking debut album, Sam’s back catalogue is given the full orchestral treatment, perfectly matching their stirring voice. Chart-toppers like Stay with Me and I’m Not the Only One are performed alongside glorious classics such as Hushabye Mountain and Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now to delight the packed Royal Albert Hall in London.

Sam also includes gripping renditions of their Oscar-winning Bond theme Writing’s on the Wall and hits Unholy, How Do You Sleep? and Dancing with a Stranger, all given unforgettable arrangements for orchestra, backing singers and 16-piece choir the LJ Singers.
