06 Jan RAYE live in Zurich this february : a long-awaited Swiss date

A stop in the city by the lake for one of the most compelling voices in UK pop

There are artists we listen to regularly, and then there are those who genuinely stay with me. RAYE is very much in the latter category. So knowing she will be playing at the Hallenstadion in Zurich on 11th February 2026, feels like quietly exciting news, simple and somehow obvious.

Finding her place, on her own terms

What we love about RAYE, however, is that nothing about her feels forced. Her music does not chase approval. Instead, it simply exists on its own terms. It can be direct, vulnerable, sometimes even luminous, always carried by a striking honesty. You get the sense that every song has been lived through, processed, and reshaped. It is raw music, but never cold. It is pop, yes, but with real depth.

Since My 21st Century Blues, it now feels like she has truly found her place. There is a rare sense of freedom in the way she writes and performs. She says what she needs to say without apology or dilution, that is precisely where her strength lies. Live, that honesty becomes even more present. RAYE does not overplay anything, instead, she steps onto the stage and simply is.

In front of a crowd, her songs take on a different weight, for instance, Escapism, pulls you into motion almost without noticing, Oscar Winning Tears catches you off guard and Ice Cream Man leaves you in silence. As a result, these are songs that linger, because they speak to something real.

With RAYE, you are not just attending a concert. Ultimately, you are witnessing an artist bringing honesty into pop music and right now, that feels especially valuable.
