Myles Smith will take over Sydney’s Hordern, right here at the Entertainment Quarter on 9th May 2025.
Earning over 1 billion streams in 2024 thanks his smash hit single ‘Stargazing’ – the best-selling 2024 single release by an English artist this year – the Luton, London-based singer-songwriter and DIY phenom has been one of England’s biggest breakout stars. With a new EP dropping Friday 8 November, Smith is in red hot demand.
“Hey Australia and New Zealand! I’ve got some news to share with you all. We’re moving our shows to May of next year. I know this might be a bit of a bummer, but trust me – it’s all for a good reason! I want to make sure that when I finally get back to you, the shows are bigger and better than anything you’ve seen before. We’re adding more music, more surprises, and making sure it’s truly worth the wait. Juggling everything it takes to pull this together hasn’t been easy, but I promise I’m putting in the work to bring you an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding – I can’t wait to see you all in May, and I’ll be counting down the days until then. Much love and gratitude, Myles”
When Myles Smith reflects on his journey – from an 11-year-old kid playing guitar and piano to a charting artist – he feels he’s continuously exceeded his own expectations.
This year, the 26-year-old from Luton has had a top five single, played Glastonbury, smashed past one billion streams and just been named BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Year.
“I guess it’s taken a long time. But I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and I feel proud of the music,” he says.
“What I think this year’s taught me is that expectations are there for comfort. But very rarely are they exactly what we imagine.
“My expectations when I started 2024 was not in a year to have played over 100 shows or the billion streams.”
Myles says he will never take the opportunity for people around the globe to choose to listen to his music for granted.
His breakout hit, Stargazing, has achieved worldwide acclaim, been platinum-certified and even featured on former US President Barack Obama’s summer playlist.
“For me it was just about prioritising writing music that comes straight from the heart and trying not to filter too much of that brain to mouth barrier.
“I just wanted to write something that was simple, but something that we all experience and feel at some point in life. I feel like doing that, it resonated with so many more people around the world,” he says.
