RAYE has enjoyed another landmark year in 2026, taking her This Tour May Contain New Music show across Europe and North America and performing six nights at London's The O2.

Following the release of her second studio album, This Music May Contain Hope, attention is naturally turning to what comes next. Could RAYE's latest touring era continue into 2027, and might UK fans have another opportunity to see the London-born star live?

At the time of writing, RAYE has not announced a headline tour for 2027. However, her recent album release, extensive 2026 live schedule and growing presence at major venues make the prospect of further dates an exciting one to consider.

Here's everything we know so far about RAYE's 2026 tour — and where she could potentially perform in 2027.

Is RAYE touring in 2026?

Yes. RAYE began 2026 with her extensive This Tour May Contain New Music, initially announced as a 40-date headline tour across the UK, Europe and North America. The run began at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland on Thursday 22nd January 2026.

Her UK arena dates included:

  • Tuesday 17th February 2026 — Co-op Live, Manchester
  • Friday 20th February 2026 — OVO Hydro, Glasgow
  • Monday 23rd February 2026 — bp pulse LIVE, Birmingham
  • Thursday 26th February 2026 — The O2, London
  • Friday 27th February 2026 — The O2, London

Further London performances were subsequently added, with RAYE eventually playing six nights at The O2 across February, March and May.

The tour followed a significant period in RAYE's career and gave audiences the chance to hear material from This Music May Contain Hope alongside established songs from her catalogue.

Will RAYE tour in 2027?

As of August 2026, there is no confirmed RAYE 2027 headline tour.

That means reports of a full 2027 tour should currently be treated as speculation rather than confirmed news.

Nevertheless, there are reasons why fans may be watching closely for further announcements. This Music May Contain Hope arrived in 2026, while This Tour May Contain New Music demonstrated RAYE's ability to headline major arenas across the UK and Europe.

Her six performances at The O2 are particularly significant. The venue originally announced two London concerts before the run expanded to six dates, demonstrating the considerable appetite to see RAYE live in the capital.

With her latest musical chapter still relatively new, a continuation of live activity in 2027 would be an understandable possibility — but fans will have to wait for RAYE to reveal her plans.

Could RAYE announce another UK tour in 2027?

A further UK tour is one possibility, although no venues or dates have been confirmed for 2027.

RAYE's 2026 itinerary took her to Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London, giving her a substantial arena tour across Britain.

If another UK run were announced, there are several ways it could develop.

RAYE could return to cities visited in 2026, particularly following the scale of her London residency. Alternatively, another tour could give her the opportunity to visit cities that were not part of the original UK itinerary.

There is no evidence yet to suggest which approach RAYE might take. For now, any discussion of potential venues remains speculation.

Could RAYE play a UK stadium in 2027?

A RAYE stadium headline show would represent another major milestone in her career, but there is currently no confirmation that she will headline a UK stadium in 2027.

There is, however, an important distinction between performing at a stadium and headlining one.

RAYE appeared at Wembley Stadium in June 2026, demonstrating that stadium-scale audiences are already part of her live experience.

Whether that eventually develops into a headline stadium concert remains unknown.

Her six-night run at The O2 provides another indication of the scale her headline performances have reached. Should demand continue to grow, larger-capacity concerts could become an intriguing possibility for future touring.

Could RAYE perform at UK festivals in 2027?

Festivals are another possible route for RAYE's 2027 live plans.

She has already established herself on some of Britain's most prominent festival stages. Before her 2026 headline tour, she performed at Glastonbury and delivered a headline performance at All Points East in 2025.

That history means another major festival appearance would not be unprecedented.

However, RAYE has not confirmed a UK festival schedule for 2027 at the time of writing. Potential appearances at Glastonbury or other major events should therefore not be considered confirmed unless announced by RAYE or the respective festival.

What could a RAYE 2027 setlist include?

Any proposed RAYE 2027 setlist is naturally speculative, but her 2026 performances provide some indication of the material that could feature.

Her May 2026 performances at The O2 included songs from This Music May Contain Hope alongside established favourites.

Tracks performed included ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’, ‘Nightingale Lane’, ‘Click Clack Symphony’, ‘Oscar Winning Tears.’ and ‘Escapism.’.

Should RAYE continue touring in support of This Music May Contain Hope in 2027, songs from the album could remain central to the show.

Her live performances are also known for drawing upon several musical styles, with the original announcement for This Tour May Contain New Music promising elements including a brass section, live strings, a jazz cover and a nightclub segment.

A future tour could continue that approach while developing the production around her latest material.

Where could RAYE tour in 2027?

RAYE's 2026 headline schedule provides several clues about the markets where she has already established a major live presence.

This Tour May Contain New Music travelled through European cities including Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris and Barcelona before visiting the UK and North America. The North American leg included New York, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Los Angeles and other major cities.

A future international tour could conceivably revisit some of these destinations or expand into additional territories.

For UK audiences, another London show would be an obvious possibility to consider given her six performances at The O2 in 2026. However, there are currently no confirmed 2027 dates to indicate where RAYE will perform next.

When could RAYE announce 2027 tour dates?

There is currently no confirmed date for a RAYE 2027 tour announcement.

The timeline of her previous tour does provide some context. This Tour May Contain New Music was announced in September 2025 ahead of its opening night in January 2026.

That does not mean RAYE will follow the same pattern for another tour. Artists can announce concerts at very different stages of an album campaign, and her future schedule could depend on numerous factors.

For that reason, fans should look to RAYE's official channels and venue announcements for confirmation rather than assuming that a 2027 tour will take place.

What's next for RAYE?

RAYE's 2026 headline tour may have concluded, but her live schedule has not.

She is set to join Bruno Mars as a special guest on The Romantic Tour later in 2026, providing another major series of performances following her own headline run.

What happens after that remains one of the biggest questions for fans.

Another arena tour, festival appearances or potentially even larger headline concerts could all be possibilities as RAYE's career continues to develop. None has been confirmed for 2027, however, so anticipation will have to continue until an official announcement arrives.

How to see RAYE live in 2027

There are currently no confirmed RAYE 2027 headline dates, meaning VIP and hospitality packages for a prospective tour are not yet available.

If new UK concerts are announced, premium hospitality could offer fans another way to experience RAYE live, with access to some of Britain's leading music venues.
