Sam Smith has announced a run of arena shows for 2023. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Thursday 27 October. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of Smith’s UK tour dates. 

Starting at Sheffield's Utilita Arena on Wednesday 12 April, the Gloria tour will then play two nights at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday 18 April and Wednesday 19 April, before heading to Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Saturday 22 April, Birmingham's Resorts World Arena on Tuesday 25 April, and Manchester's AO Arena on Wednesday 24 May. Support for each show will come from Cat Burns. 

The tour comes partly in support of Smith’s upcoming fourth studio album Gloria, set for release on Friday 27 January. According to a press release, the album will explore the singer’s personal journey through ‘sex, lies, passion, self-expression and imperfection.’ 

Smith said of the album, ‘It feels like emotional, sexual and spiritual liberation. It was beautiful, with this album, to sing freely again. Oddly, it feels like my first-ever record. And it feels like a coming of age.’

The first single from Gloria, ‘Unholy’, features guest vocals from Kim Petras and has already amassed 300 million listens on Spotify. Listen to it below.
