About
Leona Lewis is on the bill at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday 14 December 2026 for the first Heart Christmas Live, and Heart says she will sing One More Sleep.

Leona Lewis Royal Albert Hall 2026: date, doors and start time
Monday 14 December 2026, in the Hall's auditorium on Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP. The Royal Albert Hall lists doors at 6.45pm and the show at 7.30pm. No running order or finish time has been published, so the time Leona Lewis takes the stage is not yet known.
The concert is part of the Hall's Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall season, and our Royal Albert Hall page covers the venue itself.
Her song for the night: One More Sleep
One More Sleep is the only song Heart has named for her. The single came out in 2013, reached Number 3 on the Official Singles Chart and has been back in the Top 40 every festive season since 2018, and Heart calls it the biggest new Christmas record of the 21st century. No other songs from her set have been announced.
Leona Lewis at the Royal Albert Hall before
This will not be her first night in the building. On 12 November 2009 she sang Happy and a cover of Run at Children in Need Rocks the Royal Albert Hall, the concert Gary Barlow organised, with Take That on the same bill. BBC One showed it a week later, on 19 November 2009.
She returned for the Rays of Sunshine Concert on 7 June 2012, played two nights of her Glassheart Tour there on 8 and 9 May 2013, and appeared at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance on 9 November 2019.
Her recent Christmas shows
Last winter her Christmas shows were in Las Vegas, where her residency, A Starry Night, ran for 34 shows at Voltaire at The Venetian from 30 October 2025 to 3 January 2026. Her last UK Christmas tour was the Christmas with Love Tour, which played arenas and theatres in November and December 2023.
Age rule, dress code and filming
Anyone aged 14 or under must be with an adult aged 18 or over. The Hall's listing for the show states no dress code, and it warns that filming and photography may take place on the night.
The Heart Christmas Live page covers the concert as a whole, and the Heart Christmas Live 2026 line-up looks at all four acts.
