Rak-Su are coming home. Nearly a decade after their X Factor victory, Ashley Fongho, Myles Stephenson and Jamaal Shurland are returning to Watford for a special concert that could mark the beginning of a new chapter – or one final goodbye.
The trio will take to the stage at The Watford Palace Theatre on Sunday, October 18th 2026, for ‘A Rak-Su Concert – One For The Road’, bringing the group back to the place they have long called home.
For Rak-Su, the occasion carries a little more weight than your average Sunday night gig. In 2017, Fongho, Stephenson and Shurland became household names after winning The X Factor, making history of sorts along the way by performing their own original material rather than relying on covers throughout their run on the show.
Nearly a decade on, the trio are returning to Watford for a concert whose title leaves plenty to the imagination.
Rak-Su – La Bomba
One For The Road.
Is it a celebration of everything Rak-Su have achieved? A farewell? Or simply another chapter in the story? For now, the answer remains deliberately unclear – but there is something undeniably poignant about the group returning home for the occasion.
The concert was announced with a tongue-in-cheek skit imagining Ashley, Myles and Jamaal as older versions of themselves, reminiscing about their days as bona fide pop stars before making a pact to see if they can “sell out the venue one more time”.
It is a suitably Rak-Su way to announce their return: nostalgic without taking themselves too seriously, while leaving just enough mystery around what comes next.
And whatever the future holds, ‘One For The Road’ promises to be a chance for fans to celebrate the music, friendship and journey that have kept Rak-Su together since their breakthrough.
The afternoon will begin with two support acts, taking to the stage from 3:55pm, before Rak-Su headline at 5pm. The show is scheduled to wrap at 6:15pm, making it a fitting Sunday evening celebration for fans old and new. Doors open at 3:15pm.
For those wanting a little more time with the group before the music begins, a limited Meet & Greet will also be available from 2:30pm to 3:30pm.
Whether ‘One For The Road’ ultimately proves to be a goodbye or simply a promise that there is more to come, one thing is certain: Rak-Su are coming home – and for those in the room, it could be a night worth remembering.
After all, if this really is the last time Ashley, Myles and Jamaal share a stage together, you’ll want to be able to say you were there.
