Ricky Martin plays first UK show in a decade with Sugababes and Olly Alexander

Ricky Martin is playing his first UK show in a decade and Olly Alexander and the Sugababes are on the bill

The HeritageLive Festival at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk has just announced its queerest line-up yet. Saturday 22 August. Presale starts 27 May.

Ricky Martin has not played a UK show in nearly ten years. His first one back is at Sandringham Estate, the King's Norfolk country estate, on Saturday 22 August 2026 as part of the HeritageLive Festival. It is his only UK date in 2026. The supporting lineup is Sugababes, Olly Alexander and British-Latin indie-pop artist Sophie Castillo.

Put another way: one of the most iconic openly gay Latin pop stars of the last three decades, the BRIT-winning trio who have become one of the most beloved acts in British queer pop culture, and the former Eurovision entrant who came out publicly and has been making music about queer identity ever since, all on the same stage, in the King's garden, in August.

Martin is coming off a run that included a surprise cameo at Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show alongside Lady Gaga earlier this year. He performs in Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and the US across June and July before landing at Sandringham.

The HeritageLive Festival runs from 19 to 23 August 2026. Other headliners include Lionel Richie and Eric Clapton. Last year's edition drew over 100,000 attendees across the week.

Presale access requires pre-registration. Presale opens 27 May, general sale 29 May.
