Where to buy RAYE tickets?
The official ticket vendor for RAYE's tour is Ticketmaster. The general sale is now open to everyone, and this is where you should head first. However, with the insane demand, tickets have very low availability.
If you are unable to secure tickets on the official site, don't panic. The secondary market is your next best option. Platforms like StubHub and Viagogo are well-known and reputable sites where you can find tickets from other fans.
How much are RAYE tickets?
Ticket prices can vary widely depending on the venue, seat location, and demand. From official sources like Ticketmaster, tickets for the UK shows range from £50.25 to £352.75 for VIP packages. General Admission standing tickets are priced at approximately £49.10.
It's important to note that these are the face-value prices. On resale platforms, prices can fluctuate based on market demand. Here are the current prices:
- StubHub RAYE 2026 THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC Tour tickets: from £105
- Viagogo RAYE 2026 THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC Tour tickets: from £111
While you might find tickets for less than face value closer to the event, it is more likely that tickets will be more expensive as the shows sell out and demand surges. This is especially true for highly sought-after dates like the London shows.
Who is RAYE?

Born Rachel Agatha Keen in the early 90s in South London, RAYE grew up in a musical household, attending church with her sisters, where her mother sang in the choir and her father was the musical director.
The hype in the following years soon snowballed, as she wrote and performed with the likes of Charli xcx, Beyonce and Jonas Blue, earning support slots for Years & Years and Jess Glynne, and even featured in Stormzy’s ‘Big For Your Boots’ music video in 2017. But despite all of the high-profile collaborations, ever-increasing hype and even a platinum-certified single in ‘Tequila’, frustrations over the delay in releasing her debut led to RAYE departing Polydor in 2021 to the support of her peers and much of the industry. The rest, as they say, was history.
In 2023, as a newly independent artist, RAYE released her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues to fervent acclaim. Led by a string of singles, including‘Hard Out Here’ and her viral, breakout hit ‘Escapism'. Drifting from late-night dancefloor fillers (‘Black Mascara.’) to stripped back soul tunes (‘Mary Jane.) one moment, then funky disco-pop (‘Worth It.’) to a gospel-backed piano ballad (‘Buss It Down.’) the next, RAYE’s personal touch is a through-line that ends with a smiley thank you to those who stuck with her until this moment.
What to know about the RAYE's tour?
RAYE
The title of the new live show, THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC, speaks for itself as to what fans can expect. This announcement also precedes the release of Raye’s new single, ‘Where The Hell Is My Husband?’, which dropped on September 19th 2025. However, what fans will most be looking forward to on the tour is the release of her new album, which is expected to be released sometime in 2026.
If the tour announcement poster is anything to go by, you can expect a full band to join RAYE, with brass and string sections to bring to life the live jazz covers and twang that she adds to her songs in live renditions. If you like that old-school, all about the vocals kind of show, then you're going to love this one for sure, by the sounds of it.
