Global Takeover Alert: RAYE Unleashes New Single, Announces Sophomore Album & Electrifying World Tour!

RAYE has unveiled her latest bombastic single, “Where Is My Husband?”, alongside the highly anticipated announcement of her global 2026 “This Tour May Contain New Music” tour. The London-born artist shared the extensive list of dates on her Instagram, confirming a widespread journey across continents, supported by her talented sisters, ABSOLUTELY and AMMA, both accomplished performers in their own right.
The tour is set to commence its European leg in Łódź, Poland, on January 22, 2026. Over the subsequent weeks, RAYE will captivate audiences across mainland Europe, with scheduled performances in major cities including Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, Bologna, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Cologne, Zurich, Barcelona, and Paris. This segment highlights her expanding international presence and the anticipation surrounding her new material.
Following her European engagements, the U.K. and Ireland leg of the tour will kick off on February 17, 2026, at Manchester’s Co-op Live. This leg includes further stops in Glasgow, Birmingham, and Dublin, culminating in two significant shows at London’s iconic 20,000-capacity O2 Arena on February 26 and 27, marking a monumental achievement in her career.
The tour then transitions to North America, beginning on March 31, 2026, in Sacramento, California, at the Channel 24 venue. RAYE will traverse major North American cities, gracing renowned stages such as New York’s Radio City Music Hall, before concluding her expansive tour at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on May 12, 2026.
Adding to the excitement, the tour poster prominently declared that “the album is coming,” confirming that pre-orders for RAYE’s sophomore album are now accessible via her official website. While the LP is yet to receive a title, artwork, or definitive release date, RAYE candidly stated in her Instagram caption, “The album is not done yet okay, but let’s just trust the process.” This forthcoming work follows her critically acclaimed debut LP, “My 21st Century Blues,” released in 2023. Reflecting on her new project in a British Vogue cover story, RAYE expressed a thematic shift, noting, “My first album was very devastating in parts. In the second album, I feel this need for hope for myself and wanting that to translate to others.”
Tickets for the global tour dates will go on general sale on September 25 at 10 a.m. local time, available through RAYE’s website. Special pre-sale access is offered to fans in the U.K., France, and Germany who pre-order her upcoming album, with this exclusive window opening on September 23 at 10 a.m. RAYE has already given fans a taste of her new music, having performed “Where Is My Husband?” live during her festival appearances, including Glastonbury in June.
Beyond her musical releases and tours, RAYE is also slated to be honored on October 2 at the Ivors Academy Honours event in London. This recognition celebrates her dedicated campaigning for a more equitable and fair landscape for songwriters. Her influence extends further through her prolific songwriting for numerous artists, including industry giants such as Charli XCX, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez.
