The biggest selling classical artist of this century, Katherine Jenkins, has announced a new tour for 2026 – and she’s coming to York.
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.
Katherine Jenkins will be at York Barbican on Thursday 15 October 2026.
Tickets will go on general sale Friday 20 February via the York Barbican website.
Speaking on what it means to celebrate 25 years, 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.”
