Live at Chelsea

About Live at Chelsea

Royal Hospital Chelsea carries more history than most London concert sites. Live at Chelsea returns there for 2027, running 9–13 June at Royal Hospital Chelsea, Royal Hospital Road, London SW3 4SR. It is a seated outdoor music series in Chelsea, with evening concerts in the hospital's Figure Court.

The concert series began at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 2015 and returned for a June run in 2022 after its 2015–2019 era. General tickets are £45. A portion of ticket proceeds supports the Chelsea Pensioners and maintenance of the Grade I listed site.

Lineup and Programme

The bill crosses pop, rock, folk, soul and punk rather than sitting in a single lane. Announced acts include Bananarama, Jack Savoretti and Patti Smith Quartet. Figure Court is the stage.

Gates open at 5.30pm, the arena opens at 6.30pm and the headliner finishes no later than 10.30pm. Food and drink areas run on the South Terrace.

Who Is It For?

This is an adult-leaning, mixed-age run rather than a camping weekender. The fully seated format points it towards evening concert crowds, while under-14s must be with an adult aged 18 or over.

Every attendee needs a valid ticket, including babes in arms. Bars operate Challenge 25.

The Venue and Site

Figure Court puts the concert arena inside the Royal Hospital Chelsea, founded in 1682. Chelsea Pensioners have lived on the site since 1692.

The arena is fully seated and outdoors, with performers on a covered stage. Bars, food concessions, accessible toilets and first aid are on the South Terrace, and payments are card-only with no ATMs on site.
