Spotify Lifts UK Premium to £12.99 Starting in November

The company says the £1 rise will fund product investment and new features.

Overview

  • Emails sent to UK users on October 24 confirm individual Premium will increase from £11.99 to £12.99 on each subscriber’s November billing date.
  • Subscribers receive a one‑month grace period and can cancel before the next billing cycle; the student plan remains £5.99.
  • The £1 change is an 8.3% rise and is the third £1 increase for UK users in about three years, following a hike in spring 2024.
  • UK outlets report customer backlash and cancellations following the announcement.
  • Analysts, including J.P. Morgan, predict further price rises in other markets such as the United States by late 2025 or early 2026.
