Sam Smith recently announced a huge UK tour and tickets are officially about to enter presale.
They’re sure to be in high demand, but our guide tells you everything you need to know to beat the Ticketmaster queue and bag your tickets.
The 30-year-old singer songwriter first gained mainstream attention in 2012, featuring on tracks from Disclosure and Naughty Boy. The arrival of their debut album, In the Lonely Hour, in 2014 saw them take another huge step forward in their career, with the record bagging four Grammy awards.
Best-known for songs like Money on My Mind and Stay With Me, Smith’s stylised pop and R&B vocals are instantly recognisable and have won them international acclaim. Now, you can see them live and in-person on their UK tour.
