Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Archive footage, dancing astronauts and a flashing, blinking Sputnik right here in the Royal Albert Hall – when cult ‘retro-futurists’ Public Service Broadcasting brought The Race to Space to the Proms in 2019, it’s safe to say that the results were out of this world. So in the year that the Â鶹ԼÅÄ celebrates a century of – well, public-service broadcasting – it makes perfect sense to invite them back with This New Noise: a joyously eclectic, album-length celebration of 100 years of Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio, backed by the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Orchestra and delivered with all the wit and showmanship of a band on an ongoing mission to ‘teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future’.

There will be no interval

Broadcast on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Four on Friday 2 September
