For more than 25 years she’s continued to reinvent herself while remaining one of the most recognisable and respected voices in music.\n\n‘Her catalogue speaks for itself, and her live performances continue to showcase the extraordinary talent and stage presence that have defined her career.’\n\n‘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.’\n\nOf course, it’s not just the headliners performing, with Craig David and Blue performing with Christina on August 21.\n\nThe Sugababes will also be performing (Picture: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images)\n\n‘With five incredible nights of live music ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet!’ (Picture: Jo Hale/Redferns)\n\nElsewhere across the month, Sugababes, Olly Alexander, Ronnie Wood, and Soul II Soul are also performing.\n\nGiles added: ‘With five incredible nights of live music ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet!’\n\nHe’s not wrong about this being the Estate’s biggest year yet, having gone a little under the radar until now.\n\nLast year saw Mariah Carey, Stereophonics, Michael Buble and the Pet Shop Boys headlining, while 2024 had Suede, Madness, and Elbow.\n\nThere 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.\n\nYou can register for pre-sale access now, with tickets up for grabs on Monday, June 8 and Tuesday June 9.\n\n**Got a story?**\n\nIf you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page – we’d love to hear from you.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
