Raye lit up BP Pulse Live in Birmingham during her This Tour May Contain New Music tour in 2026.

Having seen her incredible set at Leeds Festival last year, my expectations were sky-high—and Raye blew them out of the water. From the very first note, sung from the edge of the stage in front of a curtain, her energy was magnetic.

The stage had a vintage Hollywood-musical vibe, yet Raye makes it feel entirely modern. Classic glamour meets fresh, contemporary sound. Between songs, her playful stage presence makes the audience feel like co-conspirators in discovering her new material.

And the support acts? Equally brilliant. Her sister Amma and Absolutely showed that talent clearly runs in the family. Nights like this remind me why I love live music, warm, electric, and utterly unforgettable.
