About this listen
Teddy Swims has been having the kind of October that cements a career in the pop-soul stratosphere. Just days ago in Melbourne, he wrapped up a triumphant three-night stand at Rod Laver Arena, elevating his draw from 400-seat clubs just two years ago to selling over 40000 tickets across those shows alone. Noise11.com called it a “church revival, pop spectacle, and open-hearted therapy session” as Teddy and his high-energy seven-piece band Freak Freely took the crowd from the anthemic opener “Not Your Man” through singalongs like “Lose Control” and that show-stopping encore “The Door.” The real moment everyone’s still buzzing about though is when Australia’s own Tones and I joined Teddy on stage for the debut of their new collaboration with David Guetta, the floor-filler “Gone Gone Gone.” David Guetta himself shared a behind-the-scenes peek at its creation on YouTube, and social media went wild, especially after the crowd’s ecstatic reaction at the live premiere.
The guest list in Melbourne was stacked, with multi-generational fans and a warm shoutout for Aussie soul favorite Matt Corby, but the energy felt as personal as a living room gig—not something you get often in an arena of nearly 15000. Teddy dedicated “Small Hands” to his four-month-old son, a recent and very public addition to the Swims legacy—he and longtime partner Raiche Wright announced the birth on Instagram earlier this month, their first child, with adorable photos that drew a flood of congratulatory DMs from fans and fellow artists alike. Swims, 33, reflected on fatherhood during the show, offering the kind of wisdom—“Don’t waste your pain, pain leaving the body is healing”—that’s quickly become his trademark both on stage and in interviews.
Outside Melbourne, he’s been making global noise: Teddy took the stage for Australia’s NRL Grand Final pre-show at Accor Stadium, an event covered widely in music media. And there was a headline-grabbing moment when Rob Thomas invited Teddy to join him onstage nearby—a surprise performance Mix 98.7 called “electric and unmissable.” The viral reach of his “I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy” tour has fans sharing clips like “Bad Dreams” and “The Door” all across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, using the hashtags #teddyswims and #ivetriedeverythingbuttherapytour.
Looking ahead, Swims is booked solid across Australia, with upcoming arena dates in Adelaide and Perth before moving on to Japan and South Korea. Shazam and social channels are abuzz with his tour updates and fan clips, confirming what’s clear from ticket sales and digital streams: Teddy Swims has ascended from breakout vocalist to arena-level headliner, with the kind of soulful authenticity and emotional reach that’s likely to define him well beyond 2025.
