“THIS TOUR MAY CONTAIN NEW MUSIC” — World Headline Tour (January–May 2026)
RAYE’s headline arena tour, This Tour May Contain New Music, was produced by Live Nation and ultimately comprised 51 dates running from January 22 to May 20, 2026, after an initial 40-date announcement running January 22 to May 12, 2026. The run opened at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland, and moved through major European arenas, including Berlin’s Uber Arena, Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, Paris’s Accor Arena, and Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi, before arriving in the UK.
UK highlights included two nights each at Manchester’s Co-Op Live, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, and Birmingham’s bp pulse LIVE, plus six sold-out nights at London’s The O2 across February, March, and May. The North American leg ran from March 31 to May 12, 2026, per promoter Live Nation, with sold-out performances at Radio City Music Hall in New York (April 15–16) and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (May 12–13). RAYE’s sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY served as direct support across all dates.

Reading Festival 2026 — Headline Set (August 29, 2026)
RAYE headlined the main stage at Reading Festival on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The BBC broadcast RAYE’s 1 hour 15 minute Reading Festival 2026 set on BBC One on Saturday 29 August at 11.35pm, except in Scotland and Scotland HD, where it aired separately on BBC One Scotland. She opened with “Escapism” and brought sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY on stage for “Joy.” during the penultimate song.
RAYE told the crowd: “Six years ago, I said to my agent, ‘Please book me for Reading’ and they kept saying ‘We’re sorry but they’re not interested.’ I never thought that six years later I would be headlining.”
-
Montreux Jazz Festival — July 3, 2026
RAYE opened the Montreux Jazz Festival’s 60th edition on July 3, 2026, at the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux, Switzerland, in a specially produced performance created in partnership with Audemars Piguet. It marked her third consecutive year performing at the festival.
Additional 2026 Appearances
RAYE’s 2026 live activity extended beyond her headline tour and major festivals. She performed at the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2026 at Wembley Stadium in London on June 6, 2026 and at Billboard Indie Live: One Night Only With RAYE at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on June 10, 2026.
Her North American headline run included a set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 23, 2026. She also received a nomination at the 68th Grammy Awards for Best Music Film for Live At The Royal Albert Hall, her one-night-only performance backed by the 50-piece Heritage Orchestra and the 30-member Flames Collective gospel choir.

Looking ahead, here is what is actually confirmed for 2027.
2027: What Is Actually Confirmed
As of August 2026, RAYE has not announced a headline tour for 2027. No venues, cities, or dates have been confirmed for a 2027 RAYE headline run, and there is no confirmed date for any such announcement. Reports of a full 2027 tour should be treated as speculation. RAYE announced her 40-date This Tour May Contain New Music headline tour on September 19, 2025, roughly four months before its opening night on January 22, 2026 in Łódź, Poland. That lead time offers a reference point for when a future announcement might arrive, but nothing is confirmed. No 2027 UK festival appearances have been announced, and no European 2027 dates exist. RAYE’s public 2027 schedule currently remains blank.
Patterns and Takeaways
RAYE’s 2026 live year split into two clear phases. The first half focused on a headline arena run across three continents, with the artist controlling her own production that featured a brass section, live strings, a jazz cover segment, and a nightclub sequence built into the show. The second half shifted to stadium scale as a support act, placing her in front of audiences measured in the tens of thousands per night across North America.
Geography tells a clear story. Europe and the UK were covered January through May via the headline run and summer festivals. North America was addressed twice: first through the sold-out headline leg (March 31 to May 12, 2026), then through the Bruno Mars stadium dates (August–October). Australia arrives in December via Spilt Milk Festival. The family thread, with sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY appearing as direct support throughout the headline run and joining her on stage at Reading, remains a consistent element of her live presentation.
The contrast between 2026’s volume and 2027’s silence stands out. An artist who completed 51 headline dates, headlined Reading, and joined one of the year’s largest stadium tours has generated no confirmed follow-up routing. That gap could be a deliberate pause or a sign that announcements are forthcoming, but no official statement supports either interpretation as of this writing.

Practical Reader Guidance
Fans can separate confirmed from rumored dates by checking official channels: RAYE’s own website, Bruno Mars’ official tour page at brunomars.com/tour, and venue event listings. Aggregator sites and resale platforms frequently list unconfirmed or speculative dates.
Multi-night stadium stands at SoFi Stadium, Levi’s® Stadium, BC Place, and Falcon Stadium each carry separate ticket inventory for every date. A ticket purchased for October 2 at SoFi Stadium is not valid for October 3, so verify the exact date before booking travel or accommodation.
Venue naming on The Romantic Tour can be confusing. SoFi Stadium is located in Inglewood, not central Los Angeles; Hard Rock Stadium is in Miami Gardens, not Miami proper; and Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, not Boston. Travelers should plan transport with those locations in mind.
Most remaining inventory for the 2026 North American Bruno Mars dates is resale-driven, and prices fluctuate. Purchasing through the official Ticketmaster links above provides the most direct route to face-value or verified resale inventory.

Conclusion
RAYE’s 2026 live schedule represents one of the most expansive years any independent-rooted artist has assembled, spanning a 51-date headline arena world tour, festival headline slots at Reading and Montreux, a stadium support run alongside Bruno Mars across North America, and an Australian festival run closing out December. The one confirmed US headline date remaining is September 28 at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. For 2027, nothing is confirmed, and that remains the accurate, verified answer as of September 21, 2026.
