About the show
There’s nothing quite like Kate Rusby at Christmas. For more than two decades, Kate has enchanted audiences with her sparkling Christmas concerts - nights filled with warmth, wonder, laughter, and that unmistakable Rusby magic.
Returning in December 2026, marking a remarkable 21 years of her annual Christmas outing, Kate brings her much-loved festive show back to stages across the UK, blending traditional Yorkshire carols, Rusby-fied Christmas classics, and her own beautifully written songs. Her voice - angelic, tender, and timeless - wraps every melody in pure seasonal comfort. It’s no surprise that for thousands of families, Kate Rusby marks the true beginning of Christmas.
Sharing the stage once again will be her supremely talented band, along with the legendary Brass Boys, whose soaring arrangements and joyful musicianship have become a cherished hallmark of the tour. Expect a magical journey from glittering, full-bodied soundscapes to delicate, intimate moments, each performance glowing with good cheer, humour, and heart.
This is Christmas as only Kate Rusby can create it - cosy, captivating, and utterly unforgettable. Gather your loved ones, warm your mulled wine, and step into a heart-warming world filled with tradition, sparkle, and song.
Featuring
Kate Rusby
Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate Rusby’s vocals never fail to connect the heart of a song to that of her audience. Named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century, a Mercury Prize Winner, 6-times BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner and a warm, Yorkshire sense of humour to boot, Rusby has achieved an unprecedented cross-over appeal. Despite stepping into a more contemporary production on her last few albums, she has stayed true to her roots. Her cover of Manic Monday (Hand Me Down 2020) featured on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. The guests on 2022 album 30 : Happy Returns is testament to Rusby’s wide appeal and include the likes of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, KT Tunstall, and Beth Nielson Chapman. Celebrating over 30 years of touring and 22 albums including her latest beautifully stunning Christmas album, Light Years, released in December 2023, Kate and her band of merry and very talented men will be visiting us in her 50th birthday year with songs old and new.
