Vocal powerhouse Jane McDonald has expressed her thrill at performing in Leeds and Sheffield as part of her forthcoming arena tour.
The television host and singer appeared on James Martin’s Saturday Morning on March 14 to discuss her imminent album Living The Dream.
Jane’s 11th studio album, featuring nine original tracks and four country classics, will be promoted with a UK tour in 2026 later this year.
The tour commences in Derby on August 28 and travels across the UK before concluding in Leeds on September 26.
Discussing the creation of her new music, she revealed: “I started writing [the album] and all of a sudden I said, ‘This sounds a bit country’. So I said, ‘Why don’t we go to Nashville to do it?’ and we had the most amazing time.”

“I recorded it at the Blackbird Studio, which is where Taylor Swift and Coldplay did their album. I mean, I’ve got no money left, but it doesn’t matter, does it?”.
“I’ve gone from Abbey Road to Nashville and it’s just one of those albums that I just can’t wait for people to hear it and it’s out next week. I took a TV crew with me and I think that’s coming out in about four weeks.”
Jane further conveyed her anticipation at taking to the stage at Leeds Arena during her upcoming tour later this year.

She elaborated: “Well, I can’t believe it really. Because we’ve got the new album, we decided to tour the album and the last tour did so well and we’d start to sort of dip into arenas then. So now there’s only about two or three theatres in the whole tour now.
“Leeds Arena is like my own turf in it. I get to sleep in my own bed. It’s just little things like that that cheer you up isn’t it?”.
“So, I just can’t believe it and it’s August and September that we’re out on tour. We’re going to Sheffield Arena and Manchester Arena too.”
