"Neil Diamond has been announced to close this year&amp;#039;s BBC Electric Proms. The legendary singer will take to the stage on October 31 at London&amp;#039;s Roundhouse, following Elton John who will kick off the three-day festival on October 28. Diamond said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m trying to make it special. I want to do some songs from my new album, as I&amp;#039;ve never done those particular songs in public before. &amp;quot;Of course I&amp;#039;ll throw in a bunch of favourites and hope those can be brought off well and generally just try to have a good time and I hope the audience enjoy the show.&amp;quot; Also confirmed for the event are Robert Plant, rapper and soul singer Plan B and rising star Rumer. Tickets for the event are on sale from 9am on September 23, priced at \u00C2\u00A325. They are available to buy from bbc.co.uk/radio2. Last year&amp;#039;s Electric Proms featured performances from Robbie Williams and Dizzee Rascal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
