Festival season is upon us and fans are still frantically trying to get tickets for the likes of Isle of Wight, BST Hyde Park and more.

However, there’s one festival that boasts a legendary lineup that nobody seems to be talking about.

HeritageLive Festival at Sandringham just revealed that Christina Aguilera will be performing for a one-off UK gig this summer.

She’s joining a truly insane headliner run of Eric Clapton, Ricky Martin, Lionel Richie and the one and only, Janet Jackson.

The global icons will descend on the Sandrimham Estate in Norfolk this August, for five nights of unforgettable music.

Giles Cooper of HeritageLive Festival shared: ‘We’re delighted to have Christina Aguilera completing our 2026 line-up’

Praising the Fighter singer, he continued: ‘There aren’t many artists who have had the kind of career Christina has. For more than 25 years she’s continued to reinvent herself while remaining one of the most recognisable and respected voices in music.

‘Her catalogue speaks for itself, and her live performances continue to showcase the extraordinary talent and stage presence that have defined her career.’

‘To welcome an artist of her stature to Sandringham is a real moment for us, and we can’t wait to see her take to the stage this summer alongside some incredible special guests.’

Of course, it’s not just the headliners performing, with Craig David and Blue performing with Christina on August 21.

Elsewhere across the month, Sugababes, Olly Alexander, Ronnie Wood, and Soul II Soul are also performing.

Giles added: ‘With five incredible nights of live music ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet!’

He’s not wrong about this being the Estate’s biggest year yet, having gone a little under the radar until now.

Last year saw Mariah Carey, Stereophonics, Michael Buble and the Pet Shop Boys headlining, while 2024 had Suede, Madness, and Elbow.

There are further gigs at other Estates, such as Audley End in Essex and the Englefield Estate in Reading, too, which also have some great names performing.

You can register for pre-sale access now, with tickets up for grabs on Monday, June 8 and Tuesday June 9.
