RAYE to Headline BST Hyde Park for the First Time With Special Guest Sienna Spiro

RAYE has been announced as the second headliner for BST Hyde Park 2027. The south London-born singer-songwriter will perform on July 10, with British singer Sienna Spiro as a special guest. Additional acts are expected to be announced in the coming months.

Tickets go on sale Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. GMT through BST Hyde Park’s official website. An American Express cardholder presale begins Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 10 a.m. GMT. Two venue presales will follow later in the week, with more information available on the ticket page.

RAYE joins Bon Jovi, who will perform June 24, on the lineup for the 65,000-capacity event. The 2026 festival featured Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and former Billboard U.K. cover star Lewis Capaldi.

RAYE’s second album, This Music May Contain Hope., arrived in March and reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and No. 11 on the Billboard 200. It went on to win the Mercury Prize, and the 29-year-old played the album in full at a symphonic performance at the Royal Albert Hall the following day, Oct. 23.

RAYE, born Rachel Keen, headlined six sold-out nights at London’s The O2 in the spring as part of a wider U.K. and Ireland arena tour. She also joined Bruno Mars for part of the North American stadium run of The Romantic Tour.

Spiro’s debut album, Visitor, became the biggest U.K. debut album of 2026, peaking at No. 2 in the U.K. and reaching No. 9 on the Billboard 200. That made her the first British artist in eight years to debut in the U.S. chart’s top 10. Her song “Great Expectation” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

The 20-year-old Londoner was shortlisted for the 2026 BRITs Critics’ Choice award and received two American Music Award nominations for “Die On This Hill,” in the breakthrough pop artist and best vocal performance categories. She is also in contention for a best new artist nomination at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
