About Steve Knightley’s Sanctuary: Songs in Sacred Places

In Spring 2026, acclaimed singer-songwriter Steve Knightley will embark on a solo tour of churches, ancient buildings, and sacred spaces across the UK. Titled Sanctuary – Songs in Sacred Places, this tour brings his music into venues known for their atmosphere, acoustics, and historical significance.

Knightley will tailor each set to the space, drawing on songs that connect with the character and history of the venue. Expect stripped-back arrangements, strong storytelling, and a focus on the relationship between song, space, and listener.

Sanctuary is not just a tour, but a chance to hear familiar songs in new ways – in buildings where words and music naturally carry weight.
