Global music icon and five-time Grammy Award winner Janet Jackson has been announced for an exclusive UK performance this summer. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will headline the opening night of the HeritageLive Festival at the historic Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on Wednesday, August 19th, 2026.
Jackson joins a star-studded festival lineup that already includes fellow headliners Lionel Richie, Ricky Martin, and Eric Clapton. For this exclusive appearance, she will be joined by an impressive bill of special guests, featuring three-time Grammy-winning artist and Fugees founder Wyclef Jean, alongside legendary British soul collective Soul II Soul.
Festival organizer Giles Cooper expressed delight at welcoming Jackson to the Royal Estate, describing her as genuine music royalty whose influence and live reputation span generations. With over 180 million records sold worldwide, Jackson remains one of the best-selling artists in music history, recently celebrating the induction of her landmark album Rhythm Nation 1814 into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
The supporting artists bring additional prestige to the summer bill. Wyclef Jean, fresh off releasing his new single "Mr. October," will bring a catalog of global hits to the stage ahead of his upcoming seven-album project, Quantum Leap. Meanwhile, Soul II Soul, led by Jazzie B, will supply their classic, Grammy-winning British soundsystem grooves like "Back To Life."
The event will take place at the scenic outdoor venue in Norfolk, with gates opening at 11:00 AM. In addition to standard tickets, organizers are offering discounted multi-day festival passes, premium VIP packages that include guided tours of Sandringham House, and dedicated glamping and caravan pitches directly on the estate grounds.
Exclusive access to the presale begins on Tuesday, June 2nd, at 9:00 AM for fans who pre-register online. The general ticket sale will follow the next morning, Wednesday, June 3rd, at 9:00 AM via See Tickets.
