Reading & Leeds has added Villanelle, Beth McCarthy and more to its 2026 bill
Dylan John Thomas and Fiona-Lee are also among the latest additions.

Raye, born Rachel Agatha Keen on 24 October 1997, is a British singer-songwriter and record producer. She gained initial recognition after signing with Polydor Records and providing guest vocals on Jonas Blue's song 'By Your Side' (2016), which charted on the UK singles chart. Raye released several extended plays and the project Euphoric Sad Songs (2020), which includes the UK top-ten single 'Secrets'. She left Polydor Records after the label allegedly refused to release her debut studio album and subsequently released her debut album, My 21st Century Blues, in 2023. The album received critical acclaim, and its third single, 'Escapism', became her first song to top the UK singles chart and enter the US Billboard Hot 100. Her second studio album, This Music May Contain Hope, was released in 2026 and topped the UK Albums Chart. Its lead single, 'Where Is My Husband!', became her second number-one single in the UK and reached the top five in several other countries. Raye's music incorporates genres such as pop, dance, R&B, and soul, with lyrics often addressing personal struggles and contemporary issues.
