Wednesday 11 January 2023
Global superstar Sam Smith will bring their GLORIA the tour to Australia and New Zealand in October and November 2023.
“I’m so excited to be launching Gloria the tour Australia and New Zealand dates for October and November 2023 from Adelaide, South Australia today! Both countries hold such a special place in my heart and we’re working hard on delivering an incredible show for you all! I can’t wait for you to see it and be with you all again soon xx.” – Sam Smith
Touring in support of their fourth studio album Gloria (out Friday 27 January via Universal Music Australia – pre-order AU here and NZ here), the long-awaited tour will be their first live shows in both countries since 2018.
GLORIA the tour will kick off at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Adelaide on Saturday 28 October before heading to Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on Tuesday 31 October, then Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney on Friday 3 November before Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane on Wednesday 8 November followed by a final stop at Spark Arena, Auckland on Saturday 11 November.
Sam Smith is currently in Australia and will perform an exclusive concert floating above the vines at d’Arenberg Cube winery in McLaren Vale, South Australia tonight! With Adelaide being the first stop on the Australian leg of GLORIA the tour, it’s only fitting that the tour is launched in South Australia where Sam has been enjoying some of the state's best tourism experiences over the past few days.
Sam’s upcoming 13-track album, Gloria, will be their boldest statement yet and comes off the back of the huge success of the ARIA #1 single, ‘Unholy’ featuring Kim Petras. The smash hit is currently back at #1 on the ARIA singles chart this week, giving it five non-consecutive weeks at the top and has surpassed 1.3 billion streams globally with 36 million streams in Australia alone.
