Ricky Martin to perform first UK show for a decade at Sandringham Estate
Latin pop icon Ricky Martin is set to return to the UK stage after a decade, performing at the King’s Sandringham Estate.
The 54-year-old “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer will perform her only concert in the UK in 2026 on Saturday, August 22. He will be accompanied at the event by support groups Sugababes, Olly Alexander and Sophie Castillo.
Martin’s performance forms part of the HeritageLive Festival, which will also host Lionel Richie at the Norfolk royal estate on Thursday 20 August and former Cream guitarist Eric Clapton on Sunday 23 August.
Giles Cooper, managing director of HeritageLive Festival, expressed his excitement: “We are thrilled to welcome Ricky Martin to the stage as part of our 2026 line-up. At HeritageLive we have always aimed to bring the 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 is extraordinary, and we’re thrilled to have one of the true pioneers helping bring this music to a wide international audience. It’s going to be an incredible party for our Saturday night at Sandringham.”
The two-time Grammy-winning Puerto Rican-born artist stands out as one of the world’s most successful Latin pop stars, with sales of more than 95 million records. His impressive career includes five UK top 10 singles, notably the chart-topping “Livin’ La Vida Loca”, and a top 10 album.
Earlier this year, Martin appeared as a special guest at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
His extensive catalog of hits also includes tracks like “(Un, Dos, Tres) Maria,” “She Bangs” and “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely,” his collaboration with Christina Aguilera.
Tickets for the concert will be on general sale starting from 09:00 on Thursday, May 28. The pre-sale opportunity, which requires online registration, will start at 09:00 on Wednesday, May 27.
