Raye today announces THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders
Fresh from immediately selling out London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall, global music superstar RAYE today announces THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders, bringing her breathtaking symphonic show to six additional countries beyond the UK.
RAYE will take her deeply personal and sonically ambitious concert to the world stage, with performances in the UK, China, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, Australia and Ghana.
Further details, including dates and locations, will be announced on 10 December, 2026.
THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders will see RAYE’s hugely acclaimed sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. reimagined for the symphonic stage and performed alongside her band, The Heritage Orchestra and Flames Collective.
Across seven performances, audiences will experience the album in its entirety as one cohesive body of work, marking another landmark moment in RAYE’s extraordinary musical journey.
Last week, RAYE announced a performance of THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Friday 23 October. The show sold out immediately after tickets went on sale, setting the stage for this exciting new international chapter. This special performance will also be recorded for a live album, to be released at a later date across streaming platforms and on vinyl.
THIS SYMPHONY MAY CONTAIN HOPE. Live From Seven World Wonders marks RAYE’s second symphony 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. The following year, 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.
To celebrate the announcement of the seven shows, RAYE has released a special orchestral mix of “Click Clack Symphony.” featuring Hans Zimmer, available now across streaming platforms and on 12-inch vinyl.
Last week RAYE also unveiled a stunning new orchestral rendition of album track “I Will Overcome.”, recorded at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra. This special recording offers a glimpse into the expansive symphonic sound that will be performed at the Royal Albert Hall.
RAYE recently performed at the 2026 MTV VMAs, receiving widespread acclaim for her standout performances of “I Will Overcome.” and “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!”.
In September, RAYE released the official video for “Joy.”, her latest euphoric single featuring her sisters and fellow artists Amma and Absolutely. For the video, the three sisters took to the streets of London in a van they named the “Joymobile”, surprising passersby with sunflowers and capturing their reactions as they brought a little unexpected happiness to the capital. At the end of August, RAYE brought her sisters on stage to perform “Joy.” during her headline set at Reading Festival. The track has since been added to playlists across BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 and Capital Radio.
