Teddy Swims announces The UGLY Tour and it's coming to Orlando and Tampa in October

Teddy Swims is hitting the road on a 32-date North American headline arena run that runs September through November.

Grammy-nominated and Diamond-certified superstar Teddy Swims has announced his 2026 THE UGLY TOUR. The North America Arena Tour will make a stop at Orlando's Kia Center on October 22, and Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena on Sunday, October 25.

Fans can register for presale access now at www.teddyswims.com/#tour. Chime Visa presale begins Tuesday, April 21 at 10 am. Teddy Swims Presale begins Wednesday, April 22 at 10 am. Fans can also access Local and Spotify presales on Thursday, April 23. White Claw will join as an official partner of THE UGLY TOUR as well.

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. Listen HERE via Warner Records— and watch the visualizer HERE.

“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.”

Swims performed the song live for the first time last Friday at his star-studded mainstage Coachellaset - which featured appearances from David Lee Roth, Joe Jonas and Vanessa Carlton. Tune into Teddy Swims’ set at 8:20 p.m. on Friday, April 25 on the Coachella Livestream 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 five billion 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 that traces his wild rise across a series of enduring singles from his record-breaking sets I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) and (Part 2). Among those: “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.”
