RAYE and the Royal Albert Hall share a special bond. Fans know it best from her unforgettable performance of “Oscar Winning Tears” in 2023.
Now, with her latest album This Music May Contain Hope, RAYE returned to a sold-out performance at the Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) and has announced This Symphony May Contain Hope: Live From Seven World Wonders, bringing her breathtaking symphonic show to six additional countries beyond the UK in 2027.
The album, reimagined for the symphonic stage, will be performed in its entirety across seven shows alongside her band, the Heritage Orchestra, and Flames Collective. The tour will visit the UK, China, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, Australia, and Ghana, with specific details to be announced in December.
This new tour marks RAYE’s second symphonic album reimagining, following the huge success of her My 21st Century Symphony shows at the Royal Albert Hall in 2023 and The O2 London in 2024. Her original one-night-only performance at the Royal Albert Hall, backed by the 50-piece Heritage Orchestra and Flames Collective, was filmed for the music film Live At The Royal Albert Hall. In 2024, RAYE brought My 21st Century Symphony to The O2 for a sold-out headline show, once again joined by the Heritage Orchestra and Flames Collective. Released on vinyl and broadcast on BBC and PBS, the Royal Albert Hall film was subsequently nominated for Best Music Film at the 68th Grammy Awards.
RAYE and the LSO are no strangers to each other. Over the past year, she has released “live” performances with the orchestra from the legendary Abbey Road Studios. She also unveiled a stunning new orchestral rendition of the album track “I Will Overcome.” These recordings offer a glimpse into the expansive symphonic sound that will be performed on tour.
