The singer was due to play the concerts earlier in the autumn as part of a tour supporting her debut album, ‘ My 21st Century Blues ‘. But following a medical assessment, she was advised to take urgent vocal rest, forcing her to postpone the remaining dates.

They have now been rescheduled for next year, kicking off in Bristol on February 21 before calling at Birmingham and Manchester before wrapping up in Glasgow on February 29.

All original tickets remain valid and any remaining tickets can be purchased here . You can view the dates in full below.

Meanwhile, RAYE recently opened up about her experience of abuse of power in the music industry, calling the effects “crippling” in an interview with Louis Theroux .

“When you’re up and coming, when you have a dream and you cross paths with powerful people – some people abuse their power and the effects of that can be crippling,” she said.

RAYE also recently responded to being snubbed in the 2024 Grammy nominations insisting that she is “not upset at all” about not receiving any nods.

“Just a message to say thank you for all the lovely messages but just to let you know I am not upset at all, I am hungry and grateful,” she shared at the time.

“The Grammys are awarded for the best music has to offer and I have barely scratched the surface of what I know musically I can give.”

RAYE will play:

FEBRUARY 21 – O2 Academy Bristol 22 – O2 Academy Birmingham 25 – Manchester O2 Apollo 27 – Bridlington Spa 28 – Newcastle Upon Tyne NX 29 – O2 Academy Glasgow

Event Details

Hot on the heels of being nominated for a record breaking seven BRIT Awards, becoming the most nominated artist in a single year in BRIT Award history – Global superstar and cultural icon RAYE announces her first ever headline show at The O2 arena on Friday 15 March 2024.

This momentous event will be a larger take on My 21st Century Symphony Live, the sensational show at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall with a majestic live orchestra and an incredible gospel choir, televised on BBC One and closed a groundbreaking 2023 for Raye. 

RAYE says “This is my first headline performance at The O2 arena. We will have 90 guests on stage, including the Heritage Orchestra and Flames Collective, our guests from The Royal Albert Hall, to perform My 21st Century Symphony. We scarily will have one month to attempt to sell 18,000 tickets, but no matter how many tickets we sell or don’t sell, I'm going to give the best show I can possibly give. I am counting down the days for this moment”. 

A No.2 album in the UK, 'My 21st Century Blues' was a decade in the making and RAYE's debut album as an independent artist. On her own terms RAYE gave space for listeners who have faced and overcome adversity, with anthems for women in the industry that recounted her own painful experiences with sexual abuse, rape, body dysmorphia, addiction, misogyny, and even climate change. The album was nominated for 'Best Independent Album' at the AIM Independent Music Awards and was one of only 12 albums selected as a finalist for the 2023 'Mercury Music Prize'. 

RAYE owned 2023 from the continued success of her inescapable global smash 'Escapism.' featuring 070 Shake, which hit No.1 on the UK Official Singles Chart, is 2 x platinum in the UK, and is certified RIAA Platinum in the US and nine other territories with 1.05 billion cumulative streams clocked to date and 105 million views on the video. The track is the second biggest selling single of the year in the UK so far, and has earned RAYE her highest-peaking song on the Billboard Hot 100 (#22). It won 'Best Social Trended Song' at The Global Awards, 'Best Contemporary Song' at the Ivor Novello Awards and 'Best Independent Track' at the AIM Independent Music Awards. The song also topped the viral music chart on TikTok boasting 110 billion views and was the No.1 Most Shazamed Pop Song in the U.S. for 8 consecutive weeks. 

2023 became RAYE's most extensive year of touring to date. After wrapping a sold-out arena UK tour with Lewis Capaldi and a string of sold-out solo headline shows including one at London's Roundhouse, RAYE returned to North America as the special guest supporting Kali Uchis and joined SZA’s 'S.O.S. Tour' for 13 shows throughout Europe and the UK. Her extraordinary debut at Glastonbury won new fans across the globe, alongside Summer performances at Longitude (Dublin, Ireland), Mad Cool (Madrid, Spain), Life Is Beautiful (Las Vegas, Nevada), and All Things Go (Columbia, Maryland). 

RAYE closed out 2023 with a sensational show at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall with a majestic live orchestra and an incredible gospel choir, the show earned huge critical acclaim. Fast cementing a legacy as an artist that can skip between genres at will – songs that flit between hip-hop, dance, and gospel and still keep their integrity – RAYE continues to own the pop game.

More information.

Four times BRIT nominated, RAYE is one of the most streamed artists in the world with over 2.3 billion streams of her music. She has a double-platinum, four platinum, two gold and three silver singles to her name. She is also indisputably one of the UK's premier songwriters. Her songs have amassed over 3 billion streams, having written for some of the world’s biggest artists including: John Legend, Ellie Goulding, Khalid, David Guetta, Diplo, and Beyonce. In 2019 she was awarded The BMI Impact Award in recognition of her 'ground-breaking artistry, creative vision and impact on the future of music.

Her cries of frustration for not being able to release her album were heard worldwide, leading to a mutual separation from her label and allowing her to carve her own path. Having made her public tirade, followed by her personal 'declaration of independence', Raye in effect has obligated herself to deliver the ground-breaking first album that her 2019 BMI award prophesied. In 2022 she was nominated for the Ivors Songwriter of the year, landed R1 Brits List, made her debut solo TV performance on Jools Holland and made the face of Spotify's November Equal campaign.

Singer, songwriter and one of the world's most-streamed artists Raye has announced a standalone London show in March 2024.

Cast your minds all the way back to 2014; Tumblr was at its peak, everyone was wearing skinny jeans and young singer-songwriter Raye released her debut extended play Welcome to the Winter. The following years would see Raye collaborate with major names including Jax Jones, Stormzy and David Guetta.

Raye independently released her debut album My 21st Century Blues to critical acclaim. The album debuted at number two on the UK charts, as well as charting in 13 other territories and hitting the Billboard Top 200 in the US.

Things have just kept going up and up for Raye. In 2022, she was nominated for the Ivors songwriter of the year, but it's 2024 that's really shaping up to be her year. With seven Brit award nominations under belt, Raye has broken records becoming the most nominated artist in a single year, as well as the most nominated British female in Brit Awards history.

She's showing absolutely no signs of slowing down, so be sure to catch her while you can. Here's everything you need to know about Raye's upcoming concert.
