Rose Gray Live

More info & tickets

Competition is in the blood of London's Rose Gray. Where she used to storm the athletics track, she now races towards the bar. And that's no coincidence. The fall that gave her a severe ankle injury on the track stopped her, but the music set her in motion again. On her sickbed, she began to write, followed by classical singing lessons. When that too didn't fit who she really was, Gray found the club.

Since then, the singer and songwriter has combined euphoric dance-pop with emotion: glitter, tears, and sweat on the dance floor. With influences from Robyn, Kylie, and Madonna, and collaborations with pop legend Justin Tranter (known for work with Selena Gomez, Sega Bodega, and Alex Metric), Rose Gray presents her debut album ‘Louder, Please’. An ode to club culture and rebirth, built on the foundations of rave, house, and electronica. Her music feels like an intimate portrait of a night that, like many a twenty-something, moves, wobbles, and stumbles, but stems from a heartwarming humanity: a humanity that arises when you experience life together and without shame. In this way, she bridges the gap between rave and pop, making music for everyone who wants to lose themselves to find themselves again.

Queer Culture and Identity

Rose Gray, who identifies as queer, openly embraces and supports the LGBTQ+ community. Her music and public image are infused with queer culture, featuring themes of love and identity that resonate deeply with her large gay fanbase. She often speaks about her experiences and pride, featuring queer love and imagery on her album artwork, creating a space of celebration and acceptance.
