RAYE has shared her bombastic new single “Where Is My Husband?” and announced news of a global tour for 2026.
The London-born songwriter revealed the This Tour May Contain New Music dates on her Instagram, which begins in Europe at the Polish city of Łódź on Jan. 22 and travels through mainland Europe over the following weeks.
The U.K. and Ireland leg begins on Feb. 17 at Manchester’s Co-op Live, before dates in Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Dublin. The run includes two shows at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena on Feb. 26 and 27. The tour will be supported by her two sisters ABOSLUTELY, and AMMA, both of whom are performers in their own right.
The run then transfers to North America from March 31 and kicks off in Sacramento, Calif. at the Channel 24 venue. She’ll then hit major cities and venues such as New York’s Radio City Music Hall and conclude at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on May 12. See the full dates below.
The tour poster also confirmed that “the album is coming” and pre-orders for her sophomore album are now available on her website. The LP is yet to have a title, artwork or release date. “The album is not done yet okay, but let’s just trust the process,” she added in her Instagram caption. Her debut LP My 21st Century Blues was released in 2023.
Tickets for the shows go on sale on Sep. 25 at 10 a.m. local time from RAYE’s website. Fans in the U.K., France and Germany can access a pre-sale on Sep. 23 at 10 a.m. when they pre-order a copy of her forthcoming album.
“Where Is My Husband?” has been performed live by RAYE during her live run at festivals including Glastonbury back in June. Speaking to British Vogue in a new cover story, she reflected on the new LP and its contents: “My first album was very devastating in parts,” she said in the feature. “In the second album, I feel this need for hope for myself and wanting that to translate to others.”
On Oct. 2, she will recognised at the Ivors Academy Honours event in London for her campaigning for a fairer and more equitable landscape for songwriters like herself. Beyond her own work, RAYE has written for a number of artists such as Charli xcx, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and more.
