Pop legends Blue have been confirmed as a headliner for the Live At Chelsea concert series, which is set to return in 2026 following a four-year hiatus. The group will bring their 25th-anniversary celebrations to the historic open-air setting of the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Thursday 11th June.
The announcement comes alongside a wave of other major bookings for the series, which transforms the home of the Chelsea Pensioners into a unique music venue. Art-pop pioneers Sparks are scheduled for Friday 12th June, followed by The Proclaimers on Saturday 13th June, and The Beach Boys closing the opening run on Sunday 14th June.
Tickets for the shows will be available via a presale starting Wednesday 10th December at 10am. The general sale follows on Friday 12th December at 10am. Fans can purchase tickets directly through LiveAtChelsea.com.
Blue’s performance promises a setlist packed with noughties classics. The group are best known for mega-hits like ‘All Rise’ and ‘One Love’, alongside three UK Number 1 singles: ‘Too Close’, ‘If You Come Back’, and their collaboration with Elton John, ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’.
The band is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity across digital platforms, with major growth on TikTok and Instagram. This renewed interest coincides with their upcoming studio album, ‘Reflections’, which is slated for release on January 9th, 2026.
The Live At Chelsea series offers a concert experience within the Sir Christopher Wren-designed grounds of the Royal Hospital. A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold supports the ongoing care of the Chelsea Pensioners who reside there. VIP packages will also be available, offering premium seating and hospitality options within the heritage site.
Previous years have seen the likes of Tom Jones, Paul Weller, Kaiser Chiefs, and Simply Red grace the stage. Situated by the River Thames near Sloane Square, the venue is celebrated for combining the intimacy of a smaller gig with the grandeur of one of London’s most recognisable landmarks.
