Sam Smith Tickets: To Be Free Residency 2026 in Manchester and London
Sam Smith tickets kaufen for the To Be Free residency 2026: 10 intimate shows in Manchester and London, starting 3 September.After sold-out residencies in New York and San Francisco earlier this year, Sam Smith brings the To Be Free tour to the UK for its European finale. The two-night run at Manchester's Albert Hall opens on 3 and 4 September 2026. Smith then moves to the London Coliseum for eight consecutive dates: 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18 and 19 September 2026. These are theatre-scale shows, not arena dates, which makes each ticket considerably more valuable. General sale opened on 10 July 2026, as confirmed on samsmithworld.com.
The timing is no coincidence. Hazel Eyes, Sam Smith's fifth studio album, drops on 21 August 2026 via Capitol Records, just days before the Manchester opener. The record follows Gloria (2023), which reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. Smith arrives at these shows as one of the most decorated British artists of their generation: five Grammy Awards, three BRIT Awards, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, plus over 64 million equivalent album sales and 57 billion career streams, according to the official Capitol Records press release. The To Be Free setlist draws directly from the new album alongside catalogue staples, giving these residency nights a distinctly intimate, album-launch feel that a standard arena tour cannot replicate. With only two nights in Manchester and eight in London, availability across all dates is limited.
