RAYE joins Bon Jovi as the second headliner for BST Hyde Park 2027, with the rock legends set to perform at the 65,000-capacity event on June 24, with further names still to come. The 2026 edition of the festival featured performances from Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and previous Billboard U.K. cover star Lewis Capaldi.

This Music May Contain Hope., RAYE’s second full-length effort, arrived in March and hit No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and No. 11 on the Billboard 200. It went on to win the prestigious Mercury Prize earlier this month, before the 29-year-old celebrated her triumph the following day (Oct. 23) with a special symphonic performance at the Royal Albert Hall, where she played the record in full.

On the live circuit, meanwhile, RAYE (born Rachel Keen) headlined six sold-out nights at The O2 in London in the spring amid a wider U.K. and Ireland arena tour. She also joined Bruno Mars for a portion of his North American stadium run for The Romantic Tour.

Spiro has also had a landmark 2026 with her debut album, Visitor, becoming the biggest U.K. debut album of 2026, peaking at No. 2 in her home nation and reaching No. 9 on the Billboard 200. The achievement made her the first British artist in eight years to debut inside the U.S. chart’s top 10. Her track “Great Expectation” also spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

The 20-year-old Londoner’s growing list of accolades includes a 2026 BRITs Critics’ Choice shortlist nomination and two American Music Award nominations (breakthrough pop artist, best vocal performance) for “Die On This Hill”. She is also in contention for best new artist nod at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
