As the days lengthen and the world stirs back to life, Kate Rusby invites you to share in the glow of Springshine — her brand-new 2026 tour celebrating renewal, song, and the simple joy of being together. Kate Rusby will be performing at Vaillant Live, Derby on the 13th of May 2026.  

Renowned as one of the most beloved voices in British folk music, Kate’s unmistakable, angelic tone has captivated audiences for over three decades.  

There is a warmth in her singing — tender, pure, and filled with northern charm — that feels like coming home. 

This year, Springshine offers something truly special. Joined by her supremely talented Singy Songy Session Band, including husband and Producer Damien O’Kane, Kate returns to her roots with an intimate, stripped-back sound that lets every note and lyric breathe. Together, they create an atmosphere rich with laughter, friendship, and the treasure of shared music. Expect familiar classics, fresh gems, and the joy of hearing them reimagined in a way that feels both personal and timeless. Each performance is a reminder that sometimes, the simplest arrangements reveal the deepest beauty. 

From timeless folk ballads to uplifting new anthems, Springshine is a radiant journey through song — a celebration of the changing season and the enduring beauty of Kate Rusby’s voice. 

So come along, step out of the grey, and into the Springshine — a tour that will warm your heart, lift your spirits, and remind you why Kate Rusby remains the true First Lady of Folk.
