  "account": "Australian singer Jorja Smith will embark on a three-date arena and amphitheater tour in November 2027, marking her first visit to the country since 2024. The Australian leg of her journey begins in Brisbane on Saturday, November 6, at the Riverstage. The tour continues on Tuesday, November 9, at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, and concludes on Saturday, November 13, at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. Fans who purchase the album What Are the Odds through Smith's official website before August 26 at 12 p.m. AEST will have early access to tickets. The tour will follow the release of Smith's third studio album, What Are the Odds, on Wednesday, August 21. Produced entirely by longtime collaborator P2J, the 12-track record showcases a full pivot towards dance music, incorporating U.K. garage, grime, 2-step, funky house, and Afro house. Smith released the album on the same night she co-headlined London's All Points East with Tems. During the tour, Australian audiences will have the chance to hear tracks like \"What's Done Is Done,\" \"Alive\" featuring Wizkid, and \"I Lied, You Lied\" for the first time. This milestone year for Smith includes the 10th anniversary of her hit debut single \"Blue Lights\" in 2026, opening six stadium dates for Harry Styles in Mexico City, and appearing as a musical guest on the debut season of Saturday Night Live UK. Her catalog holds significant chart weight in Australia, with her 2018 debut album \"Lost & Found\" reaching No. 3 on the U.K. Albums Chart and earning her the Brit Critics’ Choice Award. The tour caps off her Australian travel plans, as she previously toured the country in October 2024, performing sold-out shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney, as well as at Promiseland Festival.",
