Emails have been sent to subscribers informing them that the cost for an individual subscription will rise from £11.99 to £12.99 a month.
It equates to an 8.3% increase, and Spotify says subscribers will get a one-month grace period.

It had announced earlier this year that prices would go up in various territories, but it had not been clear if this included the UK.
The last hike, also of £1, was introduced in the spring of 2024.
Spotify told the Money blog : “As we continue innovating and enhancing the value we deliver, we periodically update our pricing to reflect local market conditions and economic factors, ensuring our service remains unparalleled.”
How do I cancel my Spotify?
To cancel a Spotify subscription, go to your account page on a web browser, click “Manage your plan” (or “Change plan”), scroll to find and select “Cancel Premium,” and then confirm your choice.
Your Premium features will remain until the end of your current billing cycle, at which point your account will revert to the free, ad-supported version.
Once submitted, you’ll receive an email where you’ll be asked to confirm your cancellation.
Alternatively, you can log in to your Spotify Account to cancel now.

Why are people angry at Spotify?
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter posted: “Cancel your Spotify tonight. They support ICE. I love love love music but I hate racism and bigotry even more.”
The Stockholm-based streaming giant said the ICE ads, which contain fearmongering references to “dangerous illegals”, do not violate policy.
A Spotify spokesperson told The Independent that the ads, which one TikTok poster said began with the words “millions of dangerous illegals are rampaging the streets”, meet the advertising standards as described on the company’s website.
Digital platforms, including HBO Max, X, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, LinkedIn and Meta, as well as cable television channels, have also reportedly been broadcasting ICE ads.
