Exclusive: Darren Criss will return to London in 2026 for a one-night-only concert this autumn.

Darren Criss – Live at the Royal Albert Hall will take place on Sunday 18 October 2026 at 7pm, with the Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning performer presenting an evening that charts his career across stage, screen and music.

The concert will see Criss revisit the songs, stories and experiences that have shaped his journey as a performer, from his breakthrough role as Blaine Anderson in Glee to acclaimed appearances in Hedwig and the Angry Inch and the Tony Award-winning musical Maybe Happy Ending.

Described as part concert, part celebration and part personal scrapbook, the event will combine live performance with personal reflections, as Criss shares the music, memories and inspirations behind some of his most significant projects.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, with Criss hosting a pre-sale for fans on Thursday.
