Global star RAYE has treated fans with the announcement of a world tour in support of her record breaking debut album, My 21st Century Blues. Having already sold-out dates across the UK and European legs, the singer has revealed she'll be bringing her live show to North America and Australia.
Hitting our shores for two headline shows, RAYE is set to take to the stage at Naarm/Melbourne's Forum Theatre on February 1, before heading to Sydney to perform at the Enmore Theatre on February 7. Presented by Handsome Tours and Laneway Presents and proudly supported by triple j across Australian dates, the artist pre-sale begins Wednesday, June 7 (10 AM Local time), with general public on-sale available from Friday, June 9th (10 AM Local Time).
Speaking of My 21st Century Blues at the time of its release, the singer shared: "Some of these songs I've had for years that I've needed to express and share. Before, I was told it was too uncomfortable and that audiences don't want to hear it. There’s no sonic through-line. It was just creating whatever feels right for the story I want to tell over it. It just feels free.”
Her certified ARIA Double Platinum and TikTok viral collaboration with 070 Shake Escapism, hit #3 in the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and debuted at #67 on triple j Hottest 100. The track has hit over 458M Spotify streams, peaked at #1 in the UK, #22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #7 at the Billboard Global 200. The song is now certified platinum across the US, UK, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland and Austria, and Gold in Germany, Denmark, France and Italy, and took out the the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song.
