Sam Smith has announced two headline shows at the Royal Albert Hall – and tickets go on sale soon.
The singer will perform two special dates at the iconic London venue on 21-22 October.
It will mark their first live shows in a number of years and will see them perform their biggest hits alongside highly-anticipated new music.
Fans can get their hands on tickets from 9am on 23 September via Ticketmaster and See Tickets.

Smith announced the shows on social media, saying they’re “incredibly excited” and “we are planning such a special show for you all, it’s been too long since we’ve been together”.

The shows will follow up the release of the singer’s new single “Unholy”, a collaboration with fellow pop icon, Kim Petras.
The single is due for release on 22 September and is the lead single from Smith’s forthcoming fourth studio album.
It follows up their 2020 album Love Goes, and chart-topping releases The Thrill of It All and In the Lonely Hour.
Smith came out as non-binary and genderqueer in March 2019, and around six months later announced that they were changing their pronouns to they/them.
The Grammy Award-winner publicly came out as non-binary and genderqueer in an interview with Jameela Jamil’s Instagram Live show I Weigh Interviews.
“I’ve always had a little bit of a war going within my body and my mind,” Smith told She-Hulk star.
They added: “When I saw the words ‘non-binary’ and ‘genderqueer’ and I read into it and I heard this people speaking, I was like, ‘F**k, that’s me.'”
“I’m not male or female, I think I flow somewhere in between. It’s all on the spectrum,” they said.
Since then they’ve been part of the change to the BRIT Awards, which saw the music awards scrap its “best male” and “best female” categories in favour of gender-neutral awards.
