Legendary band Sparks have been announced for a spectacular open-air summer concert as part of the Live At Chelsea concert series, which returns in 2026 for the first time in four years. Concert-goers can expect musical thrills and euphoric entertainment from the career-spanning show in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Friday 12 June.
Set within the 17th-century grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea – designed by Sir Christopher Wren and home to the world-famous Chelsea Pensioners – Live At Chelsea transforms one of London’s most historic and beautiful landmarks into a world-class outdoor stage.
Situated beside the River Thames and moments from Sloane Square, the venue combines breathtaking grandeur with accessibility, offering audiences a truly unique live experience in the heart of Central London.
Known for its intimate atmosphere and extraordinary setting, Live At Chelsea unites heritage and music under the summer sky. Previous performers include Max Richter, Paul Weller, Tom Jones, Simply Red, Toto, Gipsy Kings, Ludovico Einaudi, Jeff Beck, Kaiser Chiefs, and James Blunt, cementing the series as a highlight of London’s summer music calendar.
VIP packages will be available, offering premium seating and hospitality within the venue’s historic grounds.
A portion of proceeds from the concerts supports the ongoing care of the Chelsea Pensioners.

A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly. Any money we do get is not lining the pockets of oligarchs or mad-cap billionaires dictating what our journalists are allowed to think and write, or hungry shareholders. We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital. Subscribing to one of our paid tiers takes just a minute, and each sign-up makes a huge impact, helping to keep the flame of independent music burning! Please click the button below to help.
