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.
