| Picture by Katie Anderson. Hotly tipped as one to watch for 2026, rising Sunderland artist Tom A. Smith has announced a new run of UK headline shows, taking his explosive live energy on the road this spring. Kicking off at Glasgow’s iconic King Tut’s on March 26th, the tour will see Tom hit 12 dates across the UK, including stops in Manchester, Leeds, London and Southampton’s Heartbreakers on April 9th. The announcement follows the release of Tom’s acclaimed new EP ‘Say What You Want’ on Fiction Records, a bold coming-of-age collection that blends textured electronics, raw emotion and razor-sharp songwriting. With tracks like “Fashion” landing major radio airplay and fan favourite “I Don’t Blame You” showcasing a synth-leaning evolution in his sound, Tom continues to carve out his own lane in the UK indie scene. Fresh from a national support tour with The Lottery Winners, Tom A. Smith has stepped into 2026 with fire in his belly, and this tour is set to be his most electrifying yet. |
