Having announced the imminent release of unstoppable new single Unholy, out 22nd September, Sam has revealed they will be playing two unforgettable shows at the Royal Albert Hall on 21st and 22nd October. For the first time in years Sam will bring a celebratory set to a live audience performing some of their biggest records as well as material from their highly anticipated new album, all on these two special nights.

Unholy is the lead single from the new studio album, and Sam has created an unrivalled cocktail of collaborators for it, teaming up with production superstars ILYA (Max Martin, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez), Blake Slatkin (Lizzo, 24K Golden), Cirkut (Nikki Minaj, The Weekend), Omer Fendi (Lil Nas X, The Kid Laroi), long-time collaborator Jimmy Napes and pop diva Kim Petras to unleash an unrelenting hold on all the senses with Unholy.

Since their No.1 debut album In The Lonely Hour (2014), Smith has amassed a constellation of glittering achievements: 35 million albums sold, 250 million singles, 45 billion multi-platform streams, four Grammys, three BRITs, six MOBOs, a Golden Globe, one Oscar, two No.1 albums, five No.1 singles, two No.1 singles as featured vocalist on club bangers from Naughty Boy (‘La La La’, 2013) and Calvin Harris (‘Promises’, alongside Jessie Reyez, 2018). With the release of Unholy, a new album incoming and an exciting live plot in motion kicking off with these two incredible shows, it’s going to be an undeniable 2023 for Sam.
