Global music star RAYE is taking her music to a grand new stage with THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders, a seven-performance international concert experience that will bring her acclaimed sophomore album to life through orchestral arrangements.

The four-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter announced the ambitious project following a sold-out performance announcement at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The new symphonic experience will extend beyond the United Kingdom to China, Switzerland, Italy, the United States, Australia and Ghana. Additional dates and locations are scheduled to be announced Dec. 10, 2026.

The production will feature RAYE performing THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE in its entirety alongside her band, the Heritage Orchestra and the Flames Collective. The performances will present the album as one cohesive musical work, combining RAYE’s distinctive vocals and songwriting with a sweeping orchestral sound.

The announcement marks RAYE’s second major symphonic project, following My 21st Century Symphony, which debuted at the Royal Albert Hall in 2023 before returning for a sold-out headline performance at London’s The O2 in 2024. Her original Royal Albert Hall performance, backed by the 50-piece Heritage Orchestra and the Flames Collective, was filmed for Live At The Royal Albert Hall. The film was subsequently nominated for Best Music Film at the 68th Grammy Awards.

To mark the announcement, RAYE has released a special orchestral version of “Click Clack Symphony” featuring five-time Grammy Award winner and two-time Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer. The recording is available on streaming platforms and on 12-inch vinyl.

RAYE also recently unveiled an orchestral rendition of “I Will Overcome,” recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra. The recording offers a preview of the expansive orchestral arrangements planned for the upcoming performances.

The new concert experience arrives during a significant period in RAYE’s career. Released in March 2026, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The 17-track album moves through four musical seasons, blending pop, R&B, jazz, big band, soul and orchestral influences while exploring a journey from darkness toward hope.

The album has also been named one of the Mercury Music Prize Albums of the Year.

RAYE’s global success continues with “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!,” which has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. The single reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom and has spent more than 30 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, while also earning her second top 10 entry on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart.

In September, RAYE released the official video for “Joy.,” a Top 40 radio single featuring her sisters and fellow artists Amma and Absolutely. The accompanying video follows the three sisters through London in their Joymobile, surprising passersby with sunflowers and capturing moments of unexpected happiness.

The South London-born artist has accumulated more than 10 billion streams and charted 21 Top 40 singles in the United Kingdom since 2014. In 2024, she made BRIT Awards history by winning six awards in a single year, including Album of the Year.

In 2026, RAYE also received the Recording Academy’s Harry Belafonte Best Song for Social Change CEO Merit Award for “Ice Cream Man,” a song that amplifies the voices of sexual assault survivors.

Beyond the symphonic performances, RAYE continues to tour internationally. She is currently joining Bruno Mars as a special guest on 23 North American stadium dates during The Romantic Tour. Her upcoming schedule also includes the Royal Albert Hall performance on Oct. 23, iHeartRadio Jingle Ball appearances in December and major international music festivals in 2027.

With THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders, RAYE is expanding her musical vision into an international orchestral experience, bringing the themes and sounds of her latest album to audiences across seven countries.
