Giles Cooper of HeritageLive Festival commented:

“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Janet Jackson to our 2026 line-up at Sandringham Estate. HeritageLive has always aimed to present the very biggest global artists in special settings.

Janet is genuine music royalty: a performer whose influence, catalogue and live reputation span generations. To have an artist of her stature performing in such a prestigious and historic setting promises something really exceptional, and we know it will be an unforgettable night for everyone there.”

With sales of over 180 million records worldwide, Janet Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. She is the record holder for the biggest selling debut tour in history and is the first woman to debut in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 charts. She also stands as one of only four artists to have a #1 album for four successive decades alongside Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen and U2.

In 2019, she was inducted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside her brothers and in that same year her critically acclaimed Las Vegas residency, “Metamorphosis” closed out to record breaking ticket sales with only 18 dates at the Park MGM’s Park Theater. As reported by Billboard Boxscore, the legendary singer, dancer, songwriter, producer, and actress is among the biggest Vegas performers of this decade, ahead of Celine Dion (2011), Britney Spears (2013) and the Backstreet Boys (2017). Her critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary “Janet Jackson.” also brought in over 20 million viewers in one week.

Even today she continues to make an undeniable impact. 2026 marked another milestone with the induction of Janet’s album, “Rhythm Nation 1814” into the Grammy Hall of Fame. During her acceptance speech, Janet commented, “Rhythm Nation is a movement of people of all ages and backgrounds seeking to give and receive love free of judgment. May the music of Rhythm Nation continue to bring us together in peace. And may that piece allow us to celebrate this precious gift of life.”

Wyclef Jean is a 3-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist, producer and songwriter, who has sold millions of records worldwide as both a solo artist and founding member of the iconic hip-hop group Fugees. The Fugees’ landmark 1996 album The Score sold more than 18 million copies globally. As a solo artist, Wyclef achieved international success with hit records including “Gone Till November,” “911,” “Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill),” and the No. 1 smash “Hips Don’t Lie” with Shakira, one of the best-selling singles of all time. Wyclef’s ambitious, career spanning, seven album project Quantum Leap is due out this year. His new single “Mr. October” Feat. G Herbo is out today.

Emerging from the vibrant UK soundsystem culture of 1980s London, Soul II Soul rose from underground warehouse parties to global acclaim, redefining British black music and shaping generations. Led by the visionary Jazzie B, the collective became a worldwide phenomenon with chart-topping hits including “Keep On Movin’” and “Back To Life” selling over 10 million albums and earning 2 Grammy Awards.
