On Thursday, pop singer Peter Andre will perform to a sell-out crowd. The Celebrity Dad of the Year (pictured right) first achieved chart success in 1996. Since then he has had four top 10 UK albums and 10 top 10 singles.

Hip-hop trio N-Dubz will be taking over the Castle Concerts stage on Friday. X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, her cousin Dino 'Dappy' Contostavlos, and childhood friend Richard 'Fazer' Rawson, have sold more than 1.2 million albums.

They have amassed a huge fan base, with 100 million views on YouTube, 680,000 friends on Facebook and 150,000 followers on Twitter.

Also highly acclaimed within the music industry, they already have four Mobo awards and a Brit nomination to their name.

The Castle Proms will once again provide the finale to the concerts on Saturday.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be joined on stage by the acclaimed voices of the 80-strong Hertfordshire Chorus. Guest soloists this year are soprano Jo Appleby, who has toured worldwide with opera group Amici Forever, and tenor Jonathan Ansell, who shot to fame with pop opera group G4.
