On June 10th 2026, one of contemporary music's most historic nights will return to The Royal Albert Hall. Rufus Wainwright pays tribute to the "greatest night in show business" one last time with Rufus Does Judy, an epic recreation of Judy Garland's 1961 comeback concert.

A dazzling spectacle performed in front of sold-out crowds, it was critically lauded and remains a pinnacle of success amidst a career chock full of them. Wainwright released an album in December 2007 consisting of the live recording from the show, earning him a 2009 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and charting in three countries.

20 years after his 2006 Carnegie Hall performance, Rufus will return to London to perform his tribute to Judy Garland for one last time in London with famed musical director Stephen Oremus and carry on Garland's legacy with his signature showmanship, energy and style with beloved hits such as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Get Happy" and "Chicago".

Rufus Wainwright

With wonderfully romantic lyrics and inspired orchestral flourishes, Montreal-born Rufus Wainwright is unique among the artists of his generation for his lush, theatrical pop sound. The son of folk luminaries Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright, Rufus has continued the family's music success story. His material spans baroque pop to opera, musicals and film soundtracks to Judy Garland covers. Sometimes performing solo with a piano, other times joined by guest musicians, Rufus is always a captivating live performer.
