The R&B singer was awarded third place for BBC Music’s Sound of 2017, and continued rising to fame this year with her hit single ‘Cigarette’ alongside Mabel and Stefflon Don. The song has 25 million listens on Spotify and she herself has over 3 million monthly listeners.
She’s been writing songs for the last three years and has written for the likes of Charli XCX and Little Mix. This will be her first headline tour, after supporting Rita Ora earlier this year. RAYE, otherwise known as Rachel Keen, has recently been romantically linked to Drake who claimed to be impressed by her songwriting talents, which can only help propel her music prowess further into the spotlight.
The tour is set to showcase her 2018 EP Side Tape which is a mix of R&B, pop and dance, and features collaborations with RAY BLK, Mr Eazi and Stefflon Don.
