Raye named second BST Hyde Park 2027 headliner for 10 July

Raye takes Great Oak Stage on 10 July 2027

Raye will play the Great Oak Stage in Hyde Park on Saturday 10 July 2027, organisers said. It is her first headline appearance at the London festival and, according to NME, the biggest headline show of her career so far.

The show is billed as a homecoming. Raye, 29, was born Rachel Agatha Keen in Tooting, south London. She has performed at Coachella, Glastonbury and All Points East, sold out six nights at The O2 and joined Bruno Mars on his North American stadium tour, The Romantic Tour, this summer.

Bon Jovi, the first headliner announced for 2027, will play on Thursday 24 June, 14 years after headlining the festival's first edition in 2013. Jon Bon Jovi said returning was "a full circle moment." Sienna Spiro is the only support act named for Raye's date so far; more acts will be announced later.

Mercury Prize win sets up the Hyde Park date

Raye won the 2026 Mercury Prize for Album of the Year on 22 October in Newcastle for This Music May Contain Hope. The album was released in March 2026, debuted at number one in the UK and reached the Top 10 in 16 territories.

Its lead single, Where Is My Husband!, became her second UK number one and has passed 1.5 billion streams. On 23 October, the night after the Mercury ceremony, she performed the album at the Royal Albert Hall with the Heritage Orchestra and Flames Collective. Demand for that show drew 1.8 million registrations for roughly 5,000 seats, according to the singer.

Raye wrote on Instagram after the win:

Being able to even create an album is a privilege I will never take for granted.

Her 2023 debut, My 21st Century Blues, peaked at number two. She won a record six Brit Awards in one night in 2024; the Evening Standard puts her career total at seven, while Tribune reported six.

Sienna Spiro joins as special guest

Spiro, 21, released her debut album Visitor, which reached number two in the UK and number nine on the Billboard 200. The Festivals reported she was the first British artist in eight years to debut inside the US Top 10. It was the biggest UK debut album opening of 2026, according to Official Charts.

She won Best New Artist at the MTV VMAs and is nominated for a Grammy in the same category. NME reported Spiro joined Raye at All Points East.
