Rufus Wainwright to celebrate 20th anniversary of Rufus Does Judy at Royal Albert Hall
Rufus Wainwright is set to celebrate 20 years of his acclaimed Rufus Does Judy show with a special date at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 10 June 2026.
Rufus Does Judy is a recreation of Judy Garland’s infamous 1961 comeback concert. The show features over 25 classic songs, some of the greatest songs of the last century including "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Almost Like Being In Love", "The Man Who Got Away", "A Foggy Day" and "Zing Went The Strings of My Heart". For what will be his tenth show at Royal Albert Hall, Rufus Wainwright will be backed by a full orchestra under the direction of Stephen Oremus.

“"Within the Royal Albert Hall I’ve communed, been given strength and ultimately bidden farewell to my most turbulent artistic emotions, fondly feeling them evaporate into that amazing dome,” Rufus Wainwright said. “It’s my favorite venue in the world and I can’t wait to “do it again” for the last time. Maybe we'll stay all night!"
Tickets for the show will be available for pre-sale at 10am on 4 June. General on-sale tickets can purchased on 6 June. For more information, visit alttickets.com.
