Sam Smith Sets Huge UK And Europe Tour For 2023
The raft of dates will come after the release of the British pop star’s fourth album, ‘Gloria’
Sam Smith has announced details of a huge tour of the UK and Europe for 2023 in support of their fourth album, Gloria.
The British pop star will head out on a trek across UK and European arenas in April, kicking off the dates in Sheffield on April 12. The tour will then run to the end of May, when it will wrap up back in the UK at Manchester’s AO Arena.
Tickets for the Gloria tour will go on general sale at 10am BST on October 27, while a pre-sale will open at 10am BST on October 25. Fans can gain access to the pre-sale by pre-ordering Gloria on any format from the Sam Smith store before 4pm BST on October 24, which will secure them an exclusive ticket pre-sale code for the tour.
The tour follows two sold-out headline shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, which will take place this weekend (October 21, 22). The second date will be streamed live on TikTok from 8:30pm tomorrow via Smith’s account.
Smith confirmed the release of Gloria earlier this week (October 17), with the album set to arrive on January 27, 2023, via Capitol Records. Made with longtime collaborators Jimmy Napes, Stargate, and Max Martin stablemate ILYA, Gloria is not only a creative revelation but something of a personal revolution for the celebrated artist. Lyrically, the subjects dive deep and wide, into contemporary narratives around sex, lies, passion, self-expression, and imperfection.
The record will feature Smith’s recent global smash “Unholy,” which features Kim Petras. The single has already captured the No.1 spot on three Billboard charts–Global 200, Streaming Songs, and Digital Song Sales–and topped the U.S. Shazam chart, as well as racking up over 300 million combined global streams. In the UK, it has spent three consecutive weeks at No.1 on the UK Official Singles Chart.
