Wildbirds + Peacedrums to perform in a boat, on a roof…really.

A Room for London – a one-bedroom installation overlooking the River Thames – have announced a series of unique concerts for 2012.

Sounds From A Room will see a variety of artists performing in a boat, perched in what looks like a rather precarious location, on the roof of Queen Elizabeth Hall. The performances are then streamed through their website, and by live relay to a giant screen downstairs in the Southbank Centre.

Bands in a boat, on a roof…sounds like a weird dream, but anything that breaks the mould and switches up the standard concert format is good in our eyes, plus it’s free so even more reason to check it out!

The schedule so far looks like this:

25 March / Laurie Anderson
26 April / Wildbirds & Peacedrums
23 May / Amadou & Mariam

…with more artists to be announced soon. For more information, head over to the website.

Andrew Bird was the last artist to perform in the room, you can check out his performance here.
