Teddy Swims Is Taking The Ugly Tour to 32 Arenas This Fall

Teddy Swims just made it official. The Atlanta-born vocal powerhouse is bringing The Ugly Tour to 32 arenas across North America this fall, kicking off September 22nd at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City and closing things out November 18th at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. These aren't theaters. These are full-blown arenas. The guy who broke the Billboard Hot 100 record is playing rooms that match the moment.

Fresh off a legendary Coachella set, a new single, and a festival slate that stretches across two continents, Swims is locking in his biggest headline run yet. Here's everything you need to know.

The Venues Tell the Story

I'll be real, the venue list for this tour is stacked. We're talking United Center in Chicago, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, TD Garden in Boston, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Capital One Arena in D.C., State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Toyota Center in Houston, Ball Arena in Denver, Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, and Chase Center in San Francisco. Every major market is accounted for, plus stops in Montreal, Vancouver, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and more.

For a guy who was doing covers on YouTube not that long ago, selling out arenas of this caliber is a serious statement. But honestly, if you've been paying attention, this isn't surprising at all.

That Coachella Set Though

The tour announcement comes right on the heels of what might be one of the most talked-about Coachella sets this year. Swims transformed the main stage into a full apartment setup, complete with a bedroom, garage, living room, and a front door. Three songs in, the doorbell rang and out walked Joe Jonas for a performance of "When You Look Me in the Eyes." Later, Vanessa Carlton came through to play "A Thousand Miles" to a crowd that absolutely lost it.

But the best moment? The final doorbell brought out David Lee Roth. Leather vest, skintight pants, the whole thing. The two performed "Jump" together, missed the entrance to the second verse, laughed it off, and it was genuinely one of those moments that only happens at Coachella. All three guests made their Coachella debut during that set. That's how you make a statement.

New Music and What Got Him Here

Swims dropped his new single "Mr. Know It All" on April 9th via Warner Records. It's his first new music since the I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) dropped in June 2025. The track leans into a more reflective, polished pop-soul sound with lyrics about doubt, fear, and the damage that comes from trying to stay ahead of love. It feels like a natural evolution.

If you need a refresher on how we got here, "Lose Control" went Diamond-certified, hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, set the record for the longest-charting song in Hot 100 history, topped five radio formats, and has surpassed 4 billion streams globally. His album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. The dude has been on a tear.

A Stacked Festival Run Before the Tour

Before the arena tour even starts, Swims has a loaded festival calendar. He's returning to Indio for Coachella Weekend Two on April 17th, then Stagecoach on April 25th. After that it's New Orleans Jazz Fest in early May, BottleRock in Napa, and then he'll headline Bonnaroo in June. On the European side, he's hitting Pinkpop in the Netherlands, Isle of Wight in the UK, Rock Werchter in Belgium, Mad Cool in Spain, Nos Alive in Portugal, and Lollapalooza Berlin, among a bunch of others. The man is not slowing down.
