Janet Jackson has announced a huge UK show for this summer, with support from Wyclef Jean and Soul II Soul.

The singer started the year by teasing that her fans would be “in for a treat” in 2026, and now she has announced a one-off gig at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for this August.

She will be headlining the Wednesday night (August 19) of this year’s HeritageLive Festival, with Fugees member Wyclef Jean and UK R&B legends Soul II Soul also on the bill on that day.

Tickets for the show are on pre-sale today (June 2), while the general sale begins at 9am tomorrow (June 3) – you will be able to get yours here.

Other days of this year’s HeritageLive Festival, held throughout the week at the royal estate in East Anglia, will be Lionel Richie on Thursday (August 20), Ricky Martin on Saturday (August 22) and Eric Clapton on Sunday (August 23).

Giles Cooper from HeritageLive Festival has said: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Janet Jackson to our 2026 line-up at Sandringham Estate. HeritageLive has always aimed to present the very biggest global artists in special settings. Janet is genuine music royalty: a performer whose influence, catalogue and live reputation span generations.”

“To have an artist of her stature performing in such a prestigious and historic setting promises something really exceptional, and we know it will be an unforgettable night for everyone there.”

Last month, Jackson’s fourth album ‘Rhythm Nation 1814’ from 1989 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and she was on hand to accept the award alongside co-producer Terry Lewis.

“As we celebrate tonight, let’s remember that it transcends all borders, nationalities, and faiths,” she said. “When you hear the music of ‘Rhythm Nation’, I hope you hear my heart‘s desire when we first created this suite of songs. More than ever, my hope is that we might live in a world free of fear and despair.”

She has not released a new album since 2015’s ‘Unbreakable’, although her tease that she might have something in the pipeline for this year has led some to believe that another record might be on its way.

Jackson also recently “kindly declined” to be portrayed in the new biopic of her brother, Michael, according to her sister La Toya.

The film, titled Michael, was released in UK cinemas in April and charts Michael Jackson’s life from his early days with the Jackson Five, up to the peak of his success following the release of the album ‘Bad’. Michael Jackson is played by his nephew, Jaafar, and the movie was made with the cooperation of the late singer’s estate.
