Katherine Jenkins to visit York Barbican during 2026 tour

The biggest selling classical artist of this century, Katherine Jenkins, is set to visit York Barbican as part of her 25th anniversary tour, with 18 dates planned across UK and Ireland

The tour – which will take her across the UK from London to Belfast – will celebrate her long career with performances of her most popular songs including ‘Time To Say Goodbye’, ‘Jealous of the Angels’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’.

Katherine said: “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.”

The Welsh mezzo-soprano is recognised as the biggest-selling classical artist of the century, with 14 number one albums since signing to Universal Classics at the age of 22.

Her breakthrough came in 2003 with a performance at Westminster Cathedral in honour of Pope John Paul II and since then, she has performed at high-profile events including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee and at the Sydney Opera House.

Alongside her musical achievements, Katherine has earned ‘national treasure” status through her charitable work – earning an OBE in 2013 and serving as a patron for a number of charities.

Tickets go on general sale Friday 20th February, with fans able to get first access to tour tickets from Thursday by pre-ordering Jenkins’ forthcoming studio album, to be released late 2026, from the official store here.
