The coronation concert of King Charles III and his consort Camilla will feature performances by Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, among others. A recording of the event will be shown on Yle.
However, Charles’ actual coronation will not take place until Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey – the same site where British coronations have been held since 1066.
The Coronation is a multi-day event, including a celebration service and a coronation lunch. The Coronation is intended to be brought into the modern age by inviting the public to join in the celebrations of the monarchy with a major concert.
The concert at Windsor Castle on 7 May will bring together a 74-piece orchestra and a choir representing different sectors of society. The concert will be attended by 20 000 people and will be televised to millions of viewers around the world.
The BBC televised the concert live. Yleisradio broadcasts a subtitled one and a half hour recording of the event on May 14. The recording of the concert will also be in Areena.
