Latin pop icon Ricky Martin is set to return to the UK stage after a decade, performing at the King’s Sandringham Estate.
The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer, 54, will headline his sole UK concert in 2026 on Saturday, August 22. He will be joined by support acts Sugababes, Olly Alexander, and Sophie Castillo for the event.
Martin’s performance forms part of the HeritageLive Festival, which will also host Lionel Richie at the royal Norfolk estate on Thursday, August 20, and former Cream guitarist Eric Clapton on Sunday, August 23.
Giles Cooper, managing director of HeritageLive Festival, expressed his excitement: “We’re so excited to have Ricky Martin perform as part of our 2026 line-up. At HeritageLive, we’ve always aimed to bring the very biggest names to the stage across a wide range of genres, and this show is a perfect example of that.
“The rise of Latin music as a global force has been phenomenal, and we’re thrilled to welcome one of the true pioneers who helped bring it to a massive international audience. It’s set to be an incredible party for our Saturday night at Sandringham.”
The Puerto Rico-born artist, a two-time Grammy winner, stands as one of the most successful Latin pop stars globally, boasting sales of over 95 million records. His impressive career includes five UK top 10 singles, notably the chart-topping “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” alongside a top 10 album.
Earlier this year, Martin made a special guest appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show.
His extensive catalogue of hits also features tracks such as “(Un, Dos, Tres) Maria,” “She Bangs,” and “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely,” a collaboration with Christina Aguilera.
Tickets for the concert will be available for general sale from 9am on Thursday, May 28. A pre-sale opportunity, requiring online registration, will commence at 9am on Wednesday, May 27.
HeritageLive Festival has previously welcomed a host of renowned artists, including The Who, Sir Tom Jones, Sir Van Morrison, Mariah Carey, Pet Shop Boys, Robbie Williams, Jess Glynne, and Nile Rodgers.
