RAYE & Special Guests

THIS STAGE MAY CONTAIN MOMENTS IN TIME
Opening Night by Audemars Piguet

Swiss exclusivity

To celebrate the opening of the 60th edition, RAYE will be joined by several special guests for a one-of-a-kind evening, co-created with Audemars Piguet. For the occasion, the Auditorium Stravinski will be completely transformed into a stage configuration never before seen in Montreux. Blending jazz heritage, soul-stirring intensity and pop energy, this bespoke performance—conceived especially for the Festival—will span six decades of music, weaving together the artist’s hits, exclusive collaborations and reimagined classics.

This marks the third consecutive year the British singer has performed at the MJF. Here, she follows in the footsteps of her heroes Nina Simone and Etta James, whose Montreux appearances left a lasting impression on her. Two years ago, RAYE captured her debut performance on the album Live at Montreux. Since then, the global success of her hit “Where Is My Husband” and the release of her new album—featuring collaborations with Al Green and Hans Zimmer—have propelled her unstoppable rise.
