Neil Diamond has joined the line-up for this year's BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms in London.

The veteran singer will play the Roundhouse on October 30.

The concert will be broadcast live on Radio 2 at 8pm, before being shown on BBC Two on November 13 as part of A Night With Neil Diamond.

The line-up for this year's BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms already includes Sir Elton John and Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant.

Plant will perform songs from his latest solo album 'Band Of Joy' at the concert on October 29.

Additional acts set to appear at this year’s Electric Proms will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets will be available later this month.
