Jorja Smith

Handsome Tours, Laneway Presents & triple j are proud to present Jorja Smith!

This upcoming East Coast run follows a landmark year, the news landing as Jorja Smith unveils her third album, What Are The Odds, out now via FAMM / The Orchard.

Rooted in dance music, What Are The Odds brings together UK Garage, Grime, 2-Step, UK Funky, Soulful House and Afro House. Euphoric and propulsive without losing the intimacy of Jorja’s writing, it explores friendship, grief, betrayal, loneliness, love and self-discovery. These 2027 Australian dates are the first time local crowds can hear tracks including “What’s Done Is Done”, Alive” and “I Lied, You Lied” live, reconnecting with Jorja and her joy of making music. The tour kicks off at Brisbane Riverstage on Saturday 6 November, before taking over Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Tuesday 9 November and wrapping up at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday 13 November.

“This is music to make you move”, says Jorja. “This is a record for driving and vibing”. Already awarded four stars by NME, What Are The Odds captures Jorja at her most confident and creatively free. It began with a loose conversation with longtime collaborator P2J following “Little Things”, before the majority of the record took shape across just three instinctive, pressure-free studio sessions.

Across its twelve tracks, Jorja pairs that physical energy with some of her most personal writing. “For Life” considers loving a friend through addiction, “Pretend” confronts betrayal and the title track reflects on growing up in public. “This City” features grime legend Devlin’s classic verse from “London City”, which he re-recorded for the album, while “Alive” brings Jorja together with Wizkid.

Created independently through FAMM, What Are The Odds is the sound of Jorja trusting her instincts and celebrates the artists, sounds and communities that have shaped her while placing them firmly within the present and future.
