Performer: Rufus Wainwright

Hyde Park's Last Night of the Proms is a marathon specatcle, with highlights from Earth Wind and Fire, Rufus Wainwright and land lubbing ensemble The Fisherman's Friends.

Was Rufus Wainwright made for the Proms? Quite possibly: he ticks all the boxes needed for the ideal late-night set. He’s a pop artist, yes, but a pop artist whose love of classical music.
