LONDON -- The BBC on Tuesday revealed the first names among the 80 acts that will be performing at the second Electric Proms festival in London.
DJ and remixer Mark Ronson and Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs have been confirmed for this year's Electric Proms, which runs Oct. 24-28 at eight venues in Camden, North London.
Ronson will perform reworked tracks from his "Version" album alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra, with special guests including Lily Allen, Terry Hall, Santo Gold, Candie Payne and Tim Burgess.
Kaiser Chiefs will team up with Grammy winner David Arnold, known for his work scoring James Bond films. He will be taking a new approach to the arrangement and performance of the band's songs.
Both acts will stage "unique collaborative performances" at the Roundhouse and the results will be broadcast across the BBC's TV and radio networks and online.
"Hopefully, under the umbrella of the Electric Proms, we can throw away the rule book of what you can or can't do with a rock band and a bunch of musicians that you may not expect to see on stage with them," said Arnold in a statement.
