Tickets are now available for this year’s event, which takes place in the grounds of Warwick Castle on Saturday July 12 - and organisers are promising a “spectacular” evening of “superb” music, “incredible” fireworks and a “dramatic” Spitfire flyover.

Performing will be the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Jae Alexander, known for his exhuberance. Tenor John Hudson will make his debut performance with popular Neapolitan Songs and opera classics including the widely-loved Nessun Dorma. And soprano Janet Mooney will return to Warwick to perform popular arias and proms favourites for the flag-waving finale.
