RAYE announces August 2025 Dublin show

British singer-songwriter RAYE has announced the biggest Irish headline show of her career at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Friday, August 22 2025.

This follows her show-stopping Electric Picnic main stage performance this summer, with Hot Press writing that her set “undeniably delivered those big-band thrills in endless reserves.”

RAYE released her independently-released debut record My 21st Century Blues last year to major acclaim, with the track ‘Escapism’ earning the musician her first UK No. 1 single and entering on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 22.

The single also topped the charts in Ireland and Denmark, entered the Top 10 in over 20 countries, and has since been certified 2x Platinum in the US as well as Gold, Platinum, or higher in over 12 regions.

In March 2024, she made BRIT Awards history by taking home six prizes – the most for any artist in a single year — and becoming the first woman to ever be crowned Songwriter of the Year.

This year, she also scored nominations at the 2024 BET Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and was honoured with the “Warrior Award” by the Songwriters of North America (SONA) for her work advocating for songwriters. She also contributed to Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER album.

RAYE spent the last two years headlining shows around the world – including supporting the likes of SZA, Kali Uchis, and Lewis Capaldi on tour - as well as performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the Montreux Jazz Festival, and opening for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.

Tickets for RAYE’s August 22 Royal Hospital Kilmainham gig sell for €59.90 from Friday, November 8.
