Katherine Jenkins Announces First Tour in Five Years to Mark 25th Anniversary
Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins has officially announced her first concert tour in five years, celebrating a remarkable 25 years in the music industry. The 25 Year Anniversary Tour will feature 18 dates across the United Kingdom and Ireland, including a highly anticipated London show.
Tour Details and Celebratory Performances
The tour will commence at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on October 2, 2026, and will travel to major cities including Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London. The final performance is scheduled for October 27 at Belfast's Waterfront Hall. Jenkins will perform her most beloved hits, such as Time To Say Goodbye, Jealous Of The Angels, and I Will Always Love You, creating a nostalgic and celebratory atmosphere for audiences.
Jenkins expressed deep emotion about this milestone, stating: "Reaching 25 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 18 special shows feels less like a celebration of a career and more like a reunion with old friends. I can't wait to stand on stage, look out into those familiar faces, and share it all over again."
A Distinguished Career and Royal Connections
Katherine Jenkins, aged 45, has established herself as a leading figure in classical music. Crowned the biggest-selling classical artist of the century by Classic FM, she has released 14 chart-topping albums since signing with Universal Classics at age 22.
