The first ever Coronation Concert is happening tonight (May 7), in the grounds of Windsor Castle, the royal residence in Berkshire. It’s not only the first ever concert to celebrate the coronation, but it’s the first event of its kind ever to be held at Windsor Castle too.
A host of stars from the worlds of pop, classical music, opera, world music and theatre are performing, all in front of the new King, Charles III, and Queen Camilla. Months of preparation have gone into the show, which is happening on a huge circular stage on the East Lawn with the castle in the background.
It follows the star-studded concert that followed the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at Buckingham Palace, which happened last year and featured a host of world renowned artists, including Queen, Diana Ross and Elton John.
