Raye headlines BST Hyde Park on July 10 with Sienna Spiro opening
British singer Raye will headline BST Hyde Park in London on Saturday, July 10, 2027, with Sienna Spiro as special guest, following a run of major awards and chart success.
British singer Raye will headline BST Hyde Park in London on Saturday, July 10, with Sienna Spiro as special guest and opening act. The show is the biggest headline performance of Raye's career so far, and it comes after a year in which her music has dominated both the charts and the awards season.
Raye won the Mercury Prize for her latest album, « This Music May Contain Hope », which topped the UK charts when it was released in March. The album's lead single, « Where Is My Husband! », became her second UK Number One and has surpassed 1.5 billion streams. She has also taken home a Grammy for Best Song for Social Change for « Ice Cream Man », performed a large orchestral set at the Royal Albert Hall, and headlined Reading & Leeds Festival. Her BST Hyde Park slot also follows her appearance at All Points East last summer, which the BST Hyde Park announcement describes as her previous major stage in London.
Sienna Spiro is the only artist confirmed so far to join Raye at the gig. Spiro also joined Raye at All Points East, and her debut album, « Visitor », has been the biggest UK debut album of 2026 so far. Spiro won Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. Raye herself has been shortlisted for the BRIT Critics' Choice award, named in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, and nominated for next year's Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Raye is the second confirmed headliner for BST Hyde Park's 2027 edition, joining Bon Jovi at the top of the bill. The rock group was confirmed last month, and their slot follows their headlining performance at the festival's inaugural show in 2013. More names for the 2027 lineup will be announced at a later date, and the festival has not yet said whether further headliners will follow.
Tickets for Raye's show go on sale next Tuesday, November 10, at 10am GMT. The announcement also looks back at this year's BST Hyde Park lineup, which featured Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi. Together, the bills show the festival continuing to combine long-established rock and pop acts with rising artists from across the charts.
