The British singer Raye has announced some support acts for her headline show All Points East 2025.

She is scheduled to perform at Victoria Park in East London on Saturday, August 23.  Notable among the list of guest artistes is Water hitmaker Tyla, and a few others.

Already, the Maccabees and Barry Can’t Swim have been confirmed for next year’s festival.

Organizers say additional performers for the show will be announced in the coming weeks and months.

Last week, Raye expressed her anticipation on Instagram, saying she plans to make the celebration “beautiful.”

“We are going to be bringing you a beautiful show full of passion and incredible musicians to Victoria Park. I’m going to work hard to make it the most beautiful show we are capable of,” she wrote.

Tickets for the event started selling on Friday, November 15, on the festival’s official website.

Raye recently earned three Grammy nominations, appearing in categories including Best New Artist, Songwriter (non-classical), and Engineered Album (non-classical).

In July this year, the award-winning singer and songwriter released a new single titled Genesis, which she was “so proud of”.

The singer, at the time, performed a live version of the song at a special pop-up exhibition in New York City before releasing the studio version of the seven-minute song on Friday, June 7, 2024.

Referring to her favorite quote, in a statement following the release, she said the best way to “reflect on the times” was through her art and music.”

She described Genesis as “a prayer and a plea and a cry for help,” adding, “I really hope this song will be able to bring some hope, the way this music does for me, to those who need it most.”

The songstress holds several records to her credit, including the 2019 single Love Me Again, and others like Please Don’t Touch and two David Guetta collaborations, Stay (Don’t Go Away) and Make It to Heaven.

She was decorated with Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 Brit Awards in London and emerged victorious in several other categories.
