The unstoppable RAYE takes the Saturday night headline slot on the Main Stage. Her much-anticipated set is guaranteed to be one to remember. 

Radio 1’s Big Weekend arrives this year at Stockwood Park in Luton for three days of live music, with the unstoppable RAYE taking the Saturday night headline slot on the Main Stage. South London singer-songwriter RAYE has had an incredible year since releasing her debut album My 21st Century Blues in 2023, including winning a record-breaking six Brit awards.

After sold-out tours, a critically acclaimed show at the Royal Albert Hall and, of course, her set on the New Music Stage at last year’s R1BW in Dundee, she’s back, this time in the top spot. Her much-anticipated set is guaranteed to be one to remember.
