Teddy Swims « The ugly tour »

On November 7, 2026, Teddy Swims brings The Ugly Tour to Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Raised outside Atlanta, the singer and songwriter blends soul, R&B and pop with touches of gospel, rock and country. First noticed in 2019 for a series of online covers, he has since built his own catalog, moving from reinterpretations to personal songwriting that sits close to the voice and the groove.

His early releases — the EPs Unlearning (2021), Tough Love (2022) and Sleep Is Exhausting (2022) — laid the groundwork for I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) in 2023, carried by the single Lose Control. On stage, Teddy Swims plays with a full band that keeps arrangements lean and responsive, shifting from piano-and-voice ballads to more pop-rock tinged tracks. Themes of relationships, vulnerability and rebuilding thread through the set, with melodies shaped by warm harmonies and melismatic lines. The show favors direct exchange with the audience and songwriting that scales to an arena while holding onto an intimate feel — a tour stop designed around the voice and the stories it tells.
