Janet Jackson has announced an exclusive UK performance this summer, marking her only British show of 2026.
The five-time Grammy Award winner will headline HeritageLive Festival at the Sandringham Estate on August 19, with support from Wyclef Jean and Soul II Soul.
Tickets for the show went on general sale at 9am today.
The announcement comes after Jackson hinted earlier this year that fans would be "in for a treat" in 2026. The Norfolk performance will be her only scheduled UK appearance this year and forms part of the annual HeritageLive concert series held at the Royal Family's country estate.

Giles Cooper, promoter of HeritageLive Festival, 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."
He added: "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."
Other major acts performing at this year's HeritageLive Festival at Sandringham include Lionel Richie on August 20, Ricky Martin on August 22, and Eric Clapton on August 23.
Jackson remains one of the most influential artists in pop and R&B history, having sold millions of records worldwide across a career spanning more than four decades. Her most recent studio album, Unbreakable, was released in 2015.

Since then, she has issued expanded editions of classic albums including The Velvet Rope and Discipline, alongside new music releases and collaborations. Most recently, she appeared alongside Cardi B on the 2025 track Principal.
Before heading to the UK, Jackson is scheduled to perform four concerts in Japan later this month. The Sandringham appearance is expected to be one of the biggest live music events of the summer, with organisers anticipating strong demand for tickets.
