BST Hyde Park has announced RAYE, the newly crowned Mercury Prize winner and GRAMMY-winning superstar, as its second headliner, taking to the stage on Saturday, 10 July 2027.

The South London-born artist has had a remarkable few years, growing from one of the UK’s most in-demand songwriters into one of the biggest names in music worldwide. She has racked up more than 10 billion Spotify streams and 21 UK Top 40 singles. Her independent debut album, My 21st Century Blues, changed the course of her career, earning her six BRIT Awards in one night in 2024, including Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, as well as an Ivor Novello for Songwriter of the Year and three GRAMMY® nominations.

Since then, RAYE’s orbit has continued to grow at an incredible pace, performing at Coachella and Glastonbury, headlining All Points East in her home city and selling out six nights at The O2. She has also taken her music far beyond the UK, performing to audiences across Europe and North America and joining Bruno Mars on his stadium tour The Romantic Tour this summer.

2026 has been another landmark year. RAYE’s second album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE., arrived in March and went straight to No. 1 in the UK, while reaching the Top 10 in 16 territories around the world. Led by the huge ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’, which became her second UK No. 1 and has now passed 1.5 billion streams, the album has been met with some of the strongest reviews and biggest moments of her career.

At the start of 2026, RAYE became a GRAMMY®-winning artist after being honoured with the Recording Academy’s “Best Song for Social Change” award for “Ice Cream Man.” In October, RAYE was named the winner of the 2026 Mercury Prize for Album of the Year, adding another major milestone to an already extraordinary run. After a year of sold-out shows, major festival appearances, international awards and a return to the Royal Albert Hall in October for a symphonic performance of the critically acclaimed album, she now headlines London’s most iconic stage, Hyde Park, for the very first time. This London show will be a major homecoming for RAYE and another chance to see one of the world’s most exciting artists at a pivotal moment in her story.

At Hyde Park, RAYE will be joined by Sienna Spiro, who has ascended from intimate London stages to a global audience. Her debut album Visitor became the biggest UK debut album of 2026, peaking at No.2, while reaching No.9 on the Billboard 200, making Sienna the first British artist in eight years to debut inside the US Top 10. The album surpassed one billion streams on release and has since been certified Gold by the RIAA. Her stunning breakthrough single “Die On This Hill” reached the UK Top 10 and No.19 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Great Expectation” spent three weeks at No.1 in the UK.
