Teddy Swims, Rod Laver Arena, 22nd October 2025 by Mary Boukouvalas
The ‘Lose Control’ hitmaker is fresh from setting a new US chart record – his international smash becoming the first song in Billboard Hot 100 history to spend 100 consecutive weeks on the chart. Now deep into the North American leg of his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour, Swims is hitting milestone after milestone – including two sold-out hometown shows in Atlanta and a tour finale in Honolulu – before heading down under.
