RAYE Announces Biggest-Ever Show at London’s All Points East Festival

RAYE has announced her largest-ever concert at London’s All Points East Festival next summer. The genre-spanning musician will headline the 50,000-capacity Victoria Park on Aug. 23, 2025 and joins The Maccabees and Barry Can’t Swim as headliners for the annual music event.

Writing on her Instagram Stories, RAYE said: “We are going to be bringing you a beautiful show full of passion and incredible musicians to Victoria Park. I’m going to work hard to make it the most beautiful show we are capable of.”

Tickets for the event go on general sale Friday (Nov. 15) at 10 a.m. GMT via the festival’s official website. A full lineup for the event will be announced soon.

It’s the latest announcement for what’s shaping up to be another massive summer of live music in the capital. Breakout dance star Barry Can’t Swim was recently announced to headline All Points East on Aug. 22, while indie heroes The Maccabees shared that they would be reuniting for their first show in 8 years on Aug. 24 as part of the festival’s programme.

Elsewhere, BST Hyde Park, which takes place in June and July, has announced headliners including Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Jeff Lynne’s ELO. 

The announcement follows news last week that RAYE had been nominated in three Grammys categories – best new artist; songwriter, non-classical; engineered album, non-classical. The singer-songwriter, who fuses elements of pop, jazz, R&B and more, independently released her debut album My 21st Century Blues in 2023 following a protracted production while signed to Polydor Records. 

Her song “Escapism” charted at No.1 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart in 2022 and peaked at No.22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Earlier this year, RAYE won in isx categories at the 2024 BRIT Awards, a new record for an artist on a single night.
