The biggest selling classical artist of this century, Katherine Jenkins OBE, has announced a brand new 18-date UK tour for 2026, to celebrate her incredible 25 Years in music.
The 25 Year Anniversary Tour is the first tour for Katherine in five years and is set to feature all her biggest hits including ‘Time To Say Goodbye’, the emotional ‘Jealous of the Angels’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’ and more.
The Welsh superstar Mezzo Soprano, will hit the road in October 2026, performing 18 shows across UK and Ireland, opening at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on 2nd October and then heading to Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, the iconic London Palladium and many other cities, playing the final night at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall.
Speaking on what it means to celebrate 25 years, Katherine says: “Reaching twenty-five years in music is incredibly emotional, but this tour is truly a celebration of the fans who have been there from the very beginning. To be heading out across the UK and Ireland for eighteen special shows feels less like a celebration of a career and more like a reunion with old friends and I can’t wait to stand on stage, look out into those familiar faces, and share it all over again.”
Katherine Jenkins OBE is officially the world’s most successful classical singer, having been named The Biggest Selling Classical Artist of the Century by Classic FM and earning a record-breaking 14 number-one albums since signing to Universal Classics at just 22. She burst onto the music scene in 2003 with a landmark performance at Westminster Cathedral honouring Pope John Paul II, followed by appearances at major international sporting events and at the Sydney Opera House.
A favourite of the British Royal Family, Jenkins has sung at many national occasions including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, Coronation concerts at Buckingham Palace, and her 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle. She has also performed for Popes, Presidents and Princes, further establishing her place as one of the world’s most in-demand classical performers.
Alongside her musical achievements, Katherine has earned ‘National Treasure” status through her charitable work. She serves as global patron of The Wilderness Foundation, ambassador for Prince William’s TUSK Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support, and trustee of The British Forces Foundation – for whom she has performed for troops in conflict zones around the world. Awarded an OBE in 2013, she also lifted spirits during the 2020 pandemic with 25 free “lockdown live” concerts, including history-making performances at Buckingham Palace and a behind-closed-doors Royal Albert Hall concert.
A versatile creative force, Katherine has performed and recorded with many of the world’s leading artists, made her West End debut in Carousel to critical acclaim, and earned television recognition with appearances in Doctor Who, Dancing with the Stars (runner-up), and as a presenter on Songs of Praise. Her recent ventures include roles in films Minamata and Dream Horse, becoming Lady Sponsor of HMS Cardiff, launching her award-winning luxury gin brand Cygnet, and opening the inaugural SXSW London festival.
