How do you sleep knowing that British pop superstar Sam Smith is back Down Under with their brand-new tour?
The singer-songwriter will grace Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena over two nights this November to support their forthcoming studio album, Gloria. The first show on Friday, Nov 3 sold out so quickly, that a second show on Saturday, Nov 4 was promptly added. Final tickets for this one are on sale now via Frontier Touring.
Gloria The Tour lands in Sydney off the back of playing arenas in Adelaide and Melbourne. After us, the 'Like I Can' crooner jets off to Brisbane and Auckland.
Gloria, the 13-track album, is the non-binary singer's boldest statement yet, and comes off the back of the huge success of the ARIA #1 single, ‘Unholy’, featuring Kim Petras (who was one of Sydney WorldPride's huge headliners). The smash-hit single continues to reign at #1 on the charts and has surpassed 1.3 billion streams globally, with 36 million streams in Australia alone.
A bonafide queer icon, Smith has said that fans can expect this tour to feel like “emotional, sexual and spiritual liberation.” Adding, “It feels like I’ve got my faith back in my job. So it was beautiful, with this album, to sing freely again for me. It feels like a coming of age.”
Since their 2014 debut number one album, The Lonely Hour, the singer has amassed many accolades and achievements, including 36 million albums sold, 250 million singles and 49 billion multi-platform streams. Smith’s catalogue of instant hits includes ‘Too Good at Goodbyes’, ‘I’m Not The Only One,’ ‘Dancing with a Stranger’, ‘Stay with Me’, ‘How Do You Sleep’ and many more.
