CHRISTMAS TOUR: St Albans City Church

Christmas Tour 2026 - City Church, St Albans

Yay Christmas is coming! Here's everything you need to know about joining us for this very special stop on our BIG Sing Christmas Tour 2026 in St Albans! 🎶💜

WHAT AN AMAZING YEAR IT’S BEEN FOR THE BIG SING! 🎤✨   2026 has already taken our BIG Singers on some incredible adventures! We’ve sung at the stunning Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, performed at GuilFest, joined David Grant at London’s iconic Union Chapel (with a surprise appearance from Beverley Knight! 🤩), enjoyed our HUGE Secret Day Out in Cambridge, and taken our gospel sound to festivals and events right across the country!

And that’s on top of the amazing journey we’ve been on since Britain’s Got Talent — from the Premier Gospel Awards at the Indigo O₂, to singing at St Paul’s Cathedral, Southwark Cathedral and outside Buckingham Palace 👑, plus being featured on BBC1’s Stacey & Joe! 📺✨

But however exciting our adventures are, there’s something extra special about…  🎄❤️ CHRISTMAS WITH THE BIG SING! ❤️🎄  It really is one of our FAVOURITE times of the year, and we cannot wait to get out on the road again, filling venues with uplifting gospel, Christmas favourites and plenty of BIG Sing joy!     So get ready to sparkle, sing your heart out and help us spread some Christmas magic on our BIG Sing Christmas Tour 2026! 🎶🎅✨

The soundcheck is a really important time to get the sound levels right. Expect to hear feedback, loud noises as the engineers get the levels right. Also it takes time to get the levels in the monitors right so you can hear the music. Please just be patient, it is a process and we will need you to be quiet and only sing when directed so we can get the best sound for the show.    Please do help us by keeping all movement in the show as quiet as possible - and please do not talk in between songs. If you are unable to stand for our songs then let your tutor know and we will provide a chair.

You will have a Green Room to put your bags and coats.

If there are any problems on the day please only talk to our tutors and they will sort them out.
