The Gloria the Blackout was a 2024 concert tour by English singer Sam Smith, staged in support of their fourth studio album Gloria (2023). Unlike Smith’s previous arena-based tours, this run was structured as a festival-focused tour, consisting primarily of appearances at major international music festivals across Latin America and Europe.
The tour was officially announced in December 2023 and was promoted by Live Nation. It marked a more selective and curated live presence for Smith in 2024, emphasizing high-profile festival performances rather than an extensive standalone global tour.
Background Following the release and commercial success of Gloria, Sam Smith opted for a different touring strategy compared to earlier cycles. Instead of embarking on a traditional headline arena tour, the artist participated in a series of prominent music festivals, allowing for broader international reach while maintaining a limited number of performances.
The decision aligned with evolving industry trends in which major artists leverage festival circuits to engage diverse audiences across multiple regions in a condensed timeframe. The tour also reflected Smith’s continued artistic evolution, incorporating theatrical visuals and darker, more experimental themes inspired by the Gloria era.
Because of its structure, the tour was categorized as a festival tour, with performances integrated into existing festival lineups rather than standalone concerts.
