RAYE named second headliner for BST Hyde Park 2027
British singer RAYE will headline BST Hyde Park on Saturday, July 10, 2027, marking the biggest headline show of her career so far, with Sienna Spiro confirmed as support.
British singer RAYE has been announced as the second headliner for BST Hyde Park in 2027, joining Bon Jovi at the top of the bill for the popular London festival. She will perform in Hyde Park on Saturday, July 10, in what will be the biggest headline show of her career so far. The booking was revealed as part of a homecoming show announcement, and it marks a significant step for an artist whose recent year has been among the most successful in British music.
Sienna Spiro is the only artist confirmed so far to join RAYE on the day, and more names for the gig will be announced at a later date. Tickets go on sale next Tuesday, November 10, at 10am GMT, giving fans a clear date to plan around as the 2027 lineup takes shape.
The announcement follows a strong run for RAYE. Her latest album, This Music May Contain Hope, topped the UK charts when it was released in March, and its single «Where Is My Husband!» became her second UK Number One and surpassed 1.5 billion streams. She also won a Grammy for Best Song for Social Change with «Ice Cream Man», performed a large orchestral set at the Royal Albert Hall, headlined Reading and Leeds Festival, and was announced as the winner of the 2026 Mercury Prize.
Her recognition extends beyond those headline moments. The singer has been shortlisted for the BRITs Critics’ Choice award, named in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, and nominated for next year’s Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her debut album, Visitor, produced the biggest UK debut album of 2026 so far, and she won Best New Artist at the MTV VMAs.
RAYE also appeared at All Points East last summer, a slot that preceded this larger booking. The BST Hyde Park date therefore represents a clear progression from that festival appearance to a full headline performance in one of London’s best-known outdoor venues.
Bon Jovi were confirmed as the first headliners last month. Their slot follows their headlining of the festival’s inaugural show in 2013, which gives the 2027 edition a link to the event’s early history. With RAYE now confirmed alongside them, the top of the bill is set, while the remaining acts are still to be revealed.
The festival’s recent editions have featured performances from Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi. RAYE’s booking places her among a roster of major international acts at one of the UK’s best-known summer music events, and the next edition will be closely watched by fans who follow the lineup as it develops.
