He will be joined by very special guests, Sugababes, Olly Alexander, and Sophie Castillo.

In his only UK show for 2026, Ricky Martin joins the previously announced headliners, Lionel Richie on Thursday 20 August and Eric Clapton on Sunday 23 August.

Giles Cooper of HeritageLive Festival commented: “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.’

Ricky Martin is a GRAMMY Award-winning global music icon, and one of the most successful Latin artists of all-time having sold over 95 million records. The Puerto Rican singer has become notorious for one of the biggest live shows in the world, featuring a huge array of dancers and musicians, performing a hit-packed set that includes worldwide smashes ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’, ‘She Bangs’, ‘María’, ‘The Cup of Life’, and more. Across his 30+ year career, he’s achieved 95 platinum records, 40 gold records, 2 GRAMMYs, 4 Latin GRAMMYs, 12 Latin Billboard Awards, and 9 World Music Awards.

6x BRIT Award-winning trio Sugababes remain one of the most influential British girl groups of all-time, achieving 6 No.1 singles, including ‘Push the Button’, ‘Round Round’ and ‘About You Now’. With their original line-up back together, they continue to sell out arena tours across the UK and Europe.

Olly Alexander remains a defining force in pop culture. As Years & Years, he has earned 2x UK No.1 albums, 10x Top 40 singles and the BRIT Billion Award, surpassing 7.5 billion streams.
