First launched in 2010, the Hastings Prom ran for ten remarkable years, becoming a highlight of the town’s cultural calendar. Now, the “Reunion Prom” brings it back in style, with the same magic that made it a local favourite—described by organisers as "just as good as it’s always been."
This year's show features over 100 singers in the Hastings Big Choir, alongside Hastings Male Voices, a 30-piece band, with guitar, bass, drums, harp and Soprano soloist, all led by the acclaimed Roger Wilcock. The programme blends traditional Proms anthems with iconic pop and film favourites in a vibrant, electric atmosphere.
Musical Highlights Include:
- Proms classics like “Rule, Britannia,” “Jerusalem,” and “Land of Hope and Glory”
- Popular hits from Queen, Toto, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, The Proclaimers, and Nina Simone
- Memorable film music from The Greatest Showman, James Bond and The Sound of Music
- A showstopping “Nessun Dorma”
There will be plenty of opportunities to sing along, with lyrics provided in the event programme to help everyone join in the fun.
