Regularly there are also shows in France, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Scandinavian countries. The concerts consist of a combination of pop music and popular classical music and various well-known musicians and groups usually participate.

Night of the Proms is the biggest annually organised indoor event in Europe.

Not to be confused with the Last Night of the Proms, which is the last concert of the BBC Proms, a series of seventy or so classical concerts held yearly in the Royal Albert Hall in London.

History:
Night of the Proms was created by two Belgian students, Jan Vereecke and Jan Van Esbroeck in 1985. The first Night of the Proms took place at the Antwerp Sportpaleis in Belgium, 19th of October 1985. Nowadays the event is organized by Promotion for Special Events (PSE), Belgium, still managed by Jan Vereecke and Jan Van Esbroeck. For the concerts outside the Benelux countries, PSE co-operates with local promoters (Dirk Hohmeyer in Germany, GPE Producciones in Spain, etc.).
