Sharon Van Etten to play Late Night Prom

Sharon Van Etten will play London’s Royal Albert Hall on August 8 as part of the BBC Proms season.

She’ll appear alongside Hercules & Love Affair and Serpentwithfeet in Prom 35, a special ‘Late Night Prom’ celebrating the music of New York.

Helmed by conductor Jules Buckley and the Heritage Orchestra, Prom 35: New York: Sound Of A City will feature “new music from some of the city’s rising stars, plus classic tracks by established acts that have changed the city’s soundscape. Expect anything from pagan-gospel and disco-punk to feminist rap or DIY indie.”

Tickets for the Prom go on sale tomorrow morning (May 12), available from the Royal Albert Hall site.

Sharon Van Etten is currently at work on her new album, the follow up to 2015’s I Don’t Want To Let You Down EP.

The June 2018 issue of Uncut is now on sale in the UK – with the Rolling Stones on the cover. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find exclusive new interviews with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Françoise Hardy, Eric Burdon, James Taylor, Public Enemy, Eleanor Friedberger and many more.
