Katherine Jenkins Announces Cardiff Date for 25th Anniversary Tour

Katherine Jenkins OBE, the biggest-selling classical artist of the century, has announced an 18-date UK & Ireland tour to mark 25 years in music. The Welsh mezzo-soprano will stop at the Wales Millennium Centre on Sunday 4 October 2026. The 25 Year Anniversary Tour is set to feature all her biggest hits including ‘Time To Say Goodbye’, the emotional ‘Jealous of the Angels’ and  ‘I Will Always Love You' and more.

This is Jenkins’ first nationwide tour in five years and it’s being billed as a best-of run. The tour opens at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on 2 October and moves through cities including Liverpool, Brighton, Birmingham and London before finishing in Belfast, making the Cardiff date a key mid-tour highlight.

For Cardiff audiences this feels like something of a homecoming. Jenkins has long been one of Wales’ most recognisable musical exports, from landmark performances at Westminster Cathedral to national stages and royal occasions and this tour night will be an opportunity to hear her catalogue live in a venue that suits the scale of her voice. “Reaching twenty-five years in music is incredibly emotional,” Jenkins says of the tour, adding that the shows will feel “less like a celebration of a career and more like a reunion with old friends.”

General sale for tickets opens on Friday 20 February, with earlier access for fans who pre-order Jenkins’ forthcoming studio album. The full tour runs across October 2026, with the Cardiff show slated for the Wales Millennium Centre.

Beyond the hits, Jenkins’ CV is remarkable: record-breaking chart success, high-profile national performances for the Royal Family, and a long history of charitable work that has cemented her place in public life.

Tour highlights (UK & Ireland dates include): Bridgewater Hall (Manchester), Philharmonic Hall (Liverpool), Wales Millennium Centre (Cardiff), Brighton Dome, London Palladium, Venue Cymru (Llandudno), Royal Concert Hall (Glasgow), Bord Gáis Energy Theatre (Dublin), Waterfront Hall (Belfast).

Tickets go on general sale Friday 20 February. Check the Wales Millennium Centre listings and Katherine Jenkins’ official channels for pre-sale details and album pre-order options.
