RAYE will headline BST Hyde Park on Saturday, July 10, 2027, adding a London outdoor date to her live plans. The booking was announced on November 2, with Sienna Spiro confirmed on the bill and further support acts still to come.

General ticket sales open at 10:00 GMT on Tuesday, November 10, according to Ticketmaster's announcement. RAYE joins a 2027 programme that already includes Bon Jovi's return to the festival. The two acts have separate headline dates.
A different setting from the orchestral show
The announcement follows a concentrated run of album news. RAYE's This Music May Contain Hope won the Mercury Prize in October, before she took the record to the Royal Albert Hall with the Heritage Orchestra and the Flames choir.
Our earlier Royal Albert Hall report concerned a one-night performance of the album in full. Hyde Park is a new festival booking. The new announcement does not promise the same arrangements, complete-album format or supporting musicians, so that earlier concert should not be treated as a setlist for July.
Gates and stage times are separate
The organiser's general information page lists 14:00 gates for the RAYE date. It also says set times can change. That afternoon entry time tells ticket holders when the festival site opens, rather than when RAYE starts singing.
The Royal Parks lists the event within BST's June 24 to July 11 run. For now, the firm details for this particular bill are its Saturday date, the headline act, Spiro's support slot and next week's general sale. The remaining line-up and precise running order are still ahead.
