TEDDY SWIMS ANNOUNCES THE UGLY TOUR

 

GRAMMY®-Nominated, Genre-Blending Singer/Songwriter 

Makes Debut Performance at Orlando’s Kia Center on October 22

ORLANDO, FLORIDA [April, 2026] — GRAMMY®-nominated and diamond-certified superstar Teddy Swims announced his 2026 The UGLY Tour. The 32-date North America arena tour kicks off on Tuesday, September 22, in Kansas City and includes his debut performance at Orlando’s Kia Center on Thursday, October 22. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 24, at 10 a.m. ET.

 

Fans can register for pre-sale access here now. Chime Visa pre-sale begins Tuesday, April 21, at 10 a.m. ET and ends Thursday, April 23, at 10 p.m. ET. The Artist pre-sale runs Wednesday, April 22 at 10 a.m. ET until Thursday, April 23, at 10 p.m. ET.

 

The announcement comes after the start of a brand-new era with “Mr. Know It All,” an instantly catchy and deceptively breezy cut about the pain of romantic self-sabotage. “Mr. Know It All” mixes vintage grooves, ’80s rock hook-craft and lush modern production to build a moody but cool backdrop for Swims’ soul-searching lyrics. Amid sharp pizzicato strings and pillowy guitar, Swims delivers the brutal chorus: “Shoulda told you I could see this coming, like I’m lookin’ right into a crystal ball / When I fall in love it’s with misfortune, oh, I wish I wasn’t Mr. Know It All.” Listen here via Warner Records — and watch the visualizer here.

 

Swims performed the song live for the first time last Friday at his star-studded mainstage Coachella set, which featured appearances from David Lee Roth, Joe Jonas and Vanessa Carlton. Watch Swims’ Coachella performances of “Mr. Know It All”here and “When You Look at Me in the Eyes” with Joe Jonas here.

 

Last year was especially monumental for Swims, who wrapped a sold-out global tour, earned his second career GRAMMY® nod and made history with his diamond-certified smash “Lose Control,” which set the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 hit after spending 112 weeks on the chart (and it only left due to a rule meant to make room for others). In addition to topping the Hot 100 and five radio formats, the hit has surpassed 5B+ global streams.

 

Taking a much-deserved victory lap, Swims also released his “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy” (Complete Edition) in 2025. The definitive and dynamic 32-track collection unveiled the full vision behind his blockbuster two-part debut album, arriving with six previously unheard tracks. Among those was the emotional “God Went Crazy,” which inspired UPROXX to write, “I could see this lovey-dovey ballad still making waves years down the line at weddings and such.”

 

Swims also included a song about his newborn son, “Small Hands,” adding extra significance to a track list tracing his wild rise across a series of enduring singles including “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “Are You Even Real” with GIVĒON, “The Door” and, of course, “Lose Control.”

 

Still in full stride, Swims recently teamed with DJ/producer David Guetta and Tones And I for “Gone Gone Gone,” a chart-climbing ode to the pull of toxic love driven by undeniable dance-floor rhythms and gospel energy. He also joined Summer Walker for “Allegedly.”

 

With a meteoric climb behind him, “Mr. Know It All” out now and a handful of thrilling dates ahead, Swims is embarking on what looks to be his biggest, boldest and brightest era yet.
