The English pop singer Raye is playing Dublin next summer.
Having won 6 BRITs after being dropped from her major label, Raye’s recent success is a testament to being true to yourself, as the artist ditched the demands of the pop machine and following her influences of big band, jazz and R&B have paid dividends and made Raye a much bigger more successful artist.
RAYE plays Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Friday 22nd August 2025.
Tickets from €59.90 including booking fees on sale Friday November 8th at 10AM
Strictly over 18’s.
Special Guests to be announced.
Most recently, someone stole Raye’s car which had her songwriting books in the boot of the car so no album any time soon.
About RAYE
RAYE has solidified herself as one of the brightest stars in music today, selling millions of records, boasting eight Top 20 UK singles, five billion Spotify streams, and an impressive catalog of hits penned for such top artists a s Beyoncé and Charli XCX. The BRIT School alum’s independently-released debut album, My 21st Century Blues, drew universal acclaim and featured the worldwide smash “Escapism.”, earning RAYE her first UK No. 1 and entry on the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 22). The 070 Shake-assisted track also topped the charts in Ireland and Denmark, entered the Top 10 in over 20 countries, and has since been certified 2x Platinum in the US as well as Gold, Platinum, or higher in over 12 regions.
March 2024 saw RAYE make history at Britain’s biggest night in music, where she won a staggering six BRIT Awards – the most for any artist in a single year and the first female to ever be crowned Songwriter of the Year – marking a groundbreaking achievement that propelled the “Worth It.” singer to superstardom. Additional 2024 highlights include her debut at the MET Gala, contributing to Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER album (“RIIVERDANCE”), and earning coveted spots on TIME Magazine’s “Next Generation Leaders” and VOGUE’s “25 Most Influential Women” lists. She also scored nominations at the 2024 BET Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and was honored with the “Warrior Award” by the Songwriters of North America (SONA) for her work advocating for songwriters.
After a massive two years headlining shows around the world – including supporting the likes of SZA, Kali Uchis, and Lewis Capaldi on tour – RAYE dazzled audiences at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as opened for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium. She also turned in memorable TV performances on Saturday Night Live, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Daily Show, and the American Music Awards: 50th Anniversary Special.
In September 2023, RAYE’s star power was further cemented at London’s famed Royal Albert Hall where she performed My 21st Century Symphony, a special one-night-only show featuring reimagined symphonic arrangements of songs from her debut album. Joined by The Heritage Orchestra (conducted by Tom Richards), youth gospel choir Flames Collective, and organist Anna Lapwood, critics praised RAYE as “the most talented artist since Adele and Amy Winehouse” (The Telegraph). The evening was memorialized through a live recording, and a concert film that saw a limited theatrical release across cinemas worldwide.
RAYE’s latest Top 40 hit, “Genesis.”, is a three-act opus and a masterclass in disrupting music as we know it. Produced alongside multiple GRAMMY Award winner Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins (Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, SZA), RAYE elevates her emotionally raw and vulnerable lyrics with triumphant strings and horns, dulcet harmonies and emboldened snare, into a pitch perfect performance that is a divine battle cry. “Genesis.” is a confrontational acknowledgement of a chapter not yet closed but with a set intention for a new beginning, drawing inspirations from big band, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and contemporary pop. Out of darkness comes light and with this new chapter, a musical renaissance is on the horizon.
