Staff Writer

"I am sure Gordi will carry the torch for what promises to be an inspiring evening of music."

More Gordi Gordi Profile

With his massive Australian headline tour set to commence in two weeks, UK singer Sam Smith has announced Gordi as a national tour support.

The Sydney artist replaces previously announced opener Paloma Faith, who has been forced to withdraw due to “unforeseen circumstances”, stating she is “devested”.

“I was so looking forward to it but I am sure Gordi will carry the torch for what promises to be an inspiring evening of music. Sam is just the best.”

The Thrill Of It All tour kicks off in Melbourne on November 6 before taking on Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.
