Fresh from triumphant sets at Glastonbury and London’s All Points East Festival this summer, all-conquering superstar RAYE has announced details of a huge UK tour in 2026.
The previous Time Out cover star will play 40 dates across Europe and North America on her This Tour May Contain New Music Tour. Included in that run is five shows here in Britain, at some of the country’s biggest indoor arenas.
RAYE says that the tour may also contain ‘dramatic endings, a brass section, love and passion, at least one jazz cover, potential waffling (excessive unnecessary chatting), a big belted note, a nightclub segment, live strings, and a musical hug should you need one’. Sounds like vintage RAYE, alright.
