Singer-songwriter Jamie Miller will also perform at the event. Taking place during Frieze London and the BFI London Film Festival, the evening will raise funds for amfAR’s mission to advance scientific discovery to transform global health.
Over the past decade, Ora has established herself as one of the most commercially successful artists in the world. She has accumulated over 10 billion global streams and achieved four UK number one singles. She holds the record for the most UK Top 10 singles by a British female artist, with 13 in total. In 2027, Ora will be seen starring in Amazon MGM’s film HONEYMOON WITH HARRY alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Kevin Costner, as well as an appearance in Amazon MGM’s film VOLTRON. Throughout her career, Ora has demonstrated versatility across disciplines while maintaining consistent commercial success alongside her global philanthropic efforts. Her body of work reflects sustained relevance in global pop music alongside continued expansion into film, television, and entrepreneurial ventures.
“We’re thrilled to add Rita Ora to the lineup for this year’s amfAR London. She is a longtime supporter of our work and always delivers dynamic and memorable performances,” said amfAR CEO Kyle Clifford. “We’re also deeply grateful to Presenting Sponsors Audi and the Chancery Rosewood; their enthusiastic support for the evening allows amfAR to continue supporting scientists around the world focused on curing HIV and improving public health through cutting-edge research with the goal of a healthier world for all.”
As previously announced, Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons will receive the amfAR Award of Inspiration, and renowned milliner Philip Treacy will be honored with the amfAR Award of Excellence. The evening will also include a seated dinner and a live auction featuring exceptional contemporary art and exclusive luxury experiences.

More than 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK and while most are receiving treatment that controls the virus, lifelong treatment requires consistent access to healthcare and is not a cure. Currently, amfAR is supporting multiple studies using new approaches to eradicating HIV and controlling the virus without antiretrovirals long-term; fundraisers like amfAR London contribute vital funding for research that impacts not just the treatment of HIV, but cancers, autoimmune disorders, and other chronic conditions as well.
