Jorja Smith Returns: Dance Evolution and New Album Tour

Jorja Smith will embark on a three-date Australian tour in November 2027, her first visit since 2024. The tour commences on Saturday, November 6, in Brisbane, proceeding to Sydney on Tuesday, November 9, and concluding in Melbourne on Saturday, November 13. These dates follow the release of her third studio album, 'What Are the Odds', which arrived on Wednesday, August 21. This album is her first as a fully independent artist. The record, produced by P2J, fully embraces dance music, incorporating U.K. garage, grime, 2-step, funky house, and Afro house. Smith expressed that the album developed organically, focusing on immediate feelings and experimentation with P2J. She is expected to perform new tracks live for Australian audiences.

This upcoming tour follows a significant year for the artist. Smith recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of her debut single 'Blue Lights' in 2026. She also opened for Harry Styles on six stadium dates in Mexico City and appeared on the debut season of Saturday Night Live UK. Her previous albums have achieved chart success in the U.K., with 'Lost & Found' (2018) reaching No. 3 and 'Falling or Flying' (2023) also hitting No. 3. Smith last visited Australia in October 2024 for her 'Falling or Flying' tour, which included sold-out shows and a festival appearance.
