Following the recent premiere of new single Stay With Me, Sam Smith has confirmed plans to hit the road for his own headline tour, later this year.

The 9-date stint will see Smith play in support of his forthcoming eagerly-awaited debut studio album, In The Lonely Hour (set for release next month), and will follow a fairly hectic summer for the rising star, where he’s flat-out playing the festival circuit.

Tickets are set to go on sale later this week, with pre-sale starting this Wednesday (9th April). Head over to Sam’s official website for more info; tour dates as follows:
