Get ready, Sam Smith fans – your hearts will be skipping beats as the soulful sensation brings their highly anticipated UK residencies to Manchester and London in September 2026! With their fifth studio album 'Hazel Eyes' set for release on August 21st, these intimate performances promise a truly immersive experience, giving devoted followers an exclusive chance to get up close and personal with new tracks from the eagerly awaited disc.
The UK leg of the 'To Be Free' residencies is about to get underway, kicking off at Manchester's iconic Albert Hall on September 3rd and 4th – a night to remember that will leave fans breathless. Next stop: the prestigious London Coliseum theatre for an eight-night extravaganza, taking place between September 8th and 19th. This is more than just another gig – it's an opportunity to witness Smith in their element, building on previous international residencies in Brooklyn, New York, and San Francisco, California.
Mark your calendars, because tickets go on sale this Friday (July 10th) at 10am BST! If you're a die-hard fan, don't miss out on the pre-sale option available from 10am tomorrow (Thursday, July 9th) – but be quick, as these dates are set to sell out fast. For now, all we can say is: get ready for an unforgettable experience!
'Hazel Eyes' – described by Smith as their most personal and romantic record yet – is a masterpiece three years in the making, featuring collaborations with Simon Aldred and guest appearances from Feist and Shahzad Ismaily. We've already got a taste of what's to come with singles 'My Guy', 'To Be Free', and 'Love Is A Stillness' – but trust us, this is just the beginning.
Following in the footsteps of their critically acclaimed 2023 release 'Gloria', Smith's new album promises more soul-stirring moments than you can shake a stick at. And with these residencies offering an extended, up-close-and-personal experience, it's no wonder fans are itching to secure tickets – so be prepared to act fast!
