As the clock is ticking closer to the date, more details about the glorious night are being released. Here’s what we know so far about the Buckingham Palace party taking place on June 4.
BBC Reveals Plans for the Platinum Jubilee at the Palace Stage
According to BBC, work has started to create a structure which will surround Queen Victoria’s Memorial in front of the palace. The media corporation also released an artist’s impression of what the stage will look like for the party.
The images show a stunning 360-degree stage set. 22,000 people, including members of the Royal Family, will gather to watch the BBC’s star-studded Platinum Party at the Palace on the evening of Saturday, June 4.
The unveiled artist’s impressions and animated footage show the structure stretching in a circle around the historic monument, with the Palace as a backdrop, along with projected images of the Union flag and a large portrait of the Queen. The stage will also feature lights beaming up hundreds of feet into the night sky.

Two more stages — connected to the circular stage by a walkway — will be built in front of the Palace railings.
The construction began earlier last week and will reportedly create 15,000 standing spaces around the memorial and 7,000 seats around the north and south area.
Though the lineup is yet to be revealed, the concert promises to feature some of the world’s biggest pop and rock stars, along with a choir.
The only name associated with the massive event so far is U.K. chart-topper George Ezra. Kirsty Young and Roman Kemp will host the show, which is set to be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and across the BBC.
