The event is loosely modelled after the BBC Proms classical concert series but differs in various ways. For starters, the mix between classical music and pop is unique to the Night of the Proms. Moreover, the Night of the Proms is held in various European countries such as Belgium, Germany, Poland and Denmark as well as in the United States.
