The BBC has revealed the first of more than 80 artists who will be performing at the 2007 Electric Proms, a five-day festival featuring music and film taking place in Camden, London.
Confirmed for this year's five day festival are Mark Ronson and Kaiser Chiefs both of whom will be staging unique collaborative performances for the crowds at The Roundhouse in Camden and for those watching and listening on the BBC.
Taking place from October 24th to 28th 2007, BBC Electric Proms is specifically designed to create new moments in music. Each performance seeks to create something different. It may feature collaborations between new and established acts or new material performed for the first time. Whatever the artists decide, audiences are guaranteed to see and hear something truly memorable.
