The Later 25 show will broadcast on Saturday September 23rd on BBC Two.

So to bring that experience to the grand intimacy and magical bowl that is the Albert Hall should be a mega-event. We’ll have done around 360 shows by the time we get to the Albert Hall so it’s only appropriate to film a great mix of artists there in 360 degrees.”[/quote]
