RAYE will headline BST Hyde Park 2027 on July 10, marking her first appearance as a top-billed act at the London concert series. The south London-born singer-songwriter will be joined by Sienna Spiro as a special guest, with more performers expected to be announced in the coming months.
General ticket sales will begin Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. GMT through the official BST Hyde Park website. American Express cardholders will have access to a presale beginning Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. GMT, while two venue presales are also scheduled later in the week.
RAYE is the second confirmed headliner for the 2027 edition, following Bon Jovi, who will perform on June 24 at the 65,000-capacity event. The 2026 festival featured Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi.
The announcement follows a major year for RAYE, whose second full-length album, This Music May Contain Hope., reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and No. 11 on the Billboard 200. The record also won the Mercury Prize earlier this month. On Oct. 23, she marked the achievement with a full symphonic performance of the album at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
RAYE, born Rachel Keen, also completed six sold-out shows at The O2 in London during a wider U.K. and Ireland arena tour. She later joined Bruno Mars for part of his North American stadium run for The Romantic Tour.
Spiro arrives at BST Hyde Park after a breakthrough 2026. Her debut album, Visitor, became the biggest U.K. debut album of the year, reaching No. 2 in the country and No. 9 on the Billboard 200. The result made her the first British artist in eight years to debut in the U.S. chart’s top 10. Her song “Great Expectation” also spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.
The 20-year-old London artist was shortlisted for the 2026 BRITs Critics’ Choice award and received two American Music Award nominations for “Die On This Hill.” She is also in contention for Best New Artist at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
