Somerset House has announced the acts playing 11 nights of consecutive music for its 2015 Summer Series.

This will be the sixth year the venue have hosted the event.

Somerset House bills the Summer Series as the “highlight of our music programme”. The courtyard will be transformed into a mud-free festival - albeit it an intimate one - with electro-funk act Chromeo kicking off proceedings on July 9. This year's headline acts include George Ezra, James Bay and Passenger as well as Jessie J, who will close the series on July 19.
