RAYE TAKES TO THE MONTREUX STAGE AGAIN

Baby, where is this performance? RAYE is back at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland—and this time, she’s the headliner. The show also marks her second year collaborating with Audemars Piguet, the luxury watch brand she’s built a close creative relationship with over time. Following the recent release of her latest album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE., we know we wouldn’t want to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime show.

This year’s collaboration comes to life through a bespoke, one-night-only performance created together with the brand. Titled This Stage May Contain Moments in Time, in a cheeky nod to her new album, the show will open the festival’s 60th edition and doubles as a tribute to both RAYE’s insane vocal talent and six decades of music history.

As she returns to the Montreux Jazz festival stage, this year marks her third consecutive year performing there, making it slowly turn into something of a tradition. In case you missed her 2024 show, she’s got it all recorded and ready to listen to on all streaming platforms, with her second-latest album Live at Montreux Jazz Festival. Returning to the acclaimed festival as opening performer, this marks a new era for the singer on her rapid rise in the music industry in recent years.

Known for her collaborative approach, RAYE will be working with a close-knit circle of musicians to build a performance that feels both personal and expansive. With support from Audemars Piguet’s APxMusic programme, she’s pushing her sound and storytelling even further. Complete with the fact that it will be set in the legendary Stravinski Auditorium, known for its unreal acoustics, the show guarantees a fully immersive experience that you won’t want to miss.
