About Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is one of the UK’s most treasured and magical buildings, recognisable the world over. Since opening in 1871, the Hall has had an unparalleled history of exceptional performances by the world’s leading artists. It hosted the only gig in history where The Beatles and The Rolling Stones played on the same bill, and has also played host to such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Oasis, Cream and Dame Shirley Bassey.
Today over 350 events are held in the Hall’s auditorium each year which include performances of jazz, world music, rock and pop, dance, comedy, film premières and award ceremonies. The Hall is the home to the BBC Proms every summer and Cirque du Soleil in January. Audiences of well over a million are entertained each year and many millions more around the world enjoy the experience through broadcasts and recordings.
The Royal Albert Hall also showcases talented world music and jazz artists through its lively lunchtime music series, ignite in the Café Consort. It offers fantastic daytime tours of the iconic building, where you can join entertaining guides to take a look into the auditorium, a free exhibition series entitled reflect and a night for just signed young bands in its Elgar room called hush.
