English pop sensation Sam Smith has announced they will be pushing back two of their tour dates in Glasgow and Birmingham to May.
The singer announced on Facebook on the 24th April that the Birmingham concert, originally to held in Resorts World Arena on 25th April, will be moved to 27th May. Similarly, Smith had announced on the 21st April that the Glasgow show scheduled for the following evening in Glasgow OVO Hydro would be rearranged for the 25th May.
The announcements follow the “Unholy” singer and their team being taken unwell. When sharing that the Glasgow date would be rescheduled, they gave the statement on Facebook, “Sailors, I’m so sorry to say but we have to reschedule the Glasgow show to 25th May 2023. Myself and a lot of my team have been hit with a virus, that’s made us really unwell.” They continued to explain, “I want to give you the best version of Gloria the tour and at the moment that’s not possible. It was also really important to me that we had another date to move this to straight away. We will celebrate Gloria together!!”
All tickets sold for the original Birmingham and Glasgow dates will be honoured and valid on the rescheduled dates for May.
The Glasgow and Birmingham dates were supposed to be the fifth and sixth dates on Smith’s Gloria world tour in support of their fourth studio album. Gloria was released in January earlier this year and debuted at number one on the UK, Scottish, Irish, and Australian album charts.
If all things continue as planned, the artist will be touring around Europe for the remainder of April and May. Their next date is scheduled to be in Copenhagen on the 29th April. After they visit Europe they will be heading back to the UK to play Manchester on the 24th May and then the rescheduled dates for Glasgow and Birmingham. Sam will be supported by British singer-songwriter Cat Burns for the UK and European leg of the tour. For any remaining tickets see here.
This summer the popstar will tour around the States throughout July, August, and September. The Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez will be supporting them for the US dates. They will be ending their tour in Australia and New Zealand playing a handful of dates in October and November.
