Teddy Swims Will Close The UGLY Tour at the Kia Forum

Teddy Swims will close the North American leg of THE UGLY TOUR at the Kia Forum on November 18, giving Los Angeles the final arena show of the run.

The tour arrives with “Mr. Know It All,” a new single that pairs vintage grooves and 1980s-rock hooks with the vocal weight that has defined Swims’ breakthrough. The song follows a run that turned “Lose Control” into a global hit.

Swims now has enough material to move between soul ballads, pop, rock and R&B without losing the through line of his voice. “The Door,” “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “God Went Crazy” and “Are You Even Real” with Giveon are likely to sit beside newer collaborations and the songs that first introduced him to arena audiences.

Ending at the Forum gives the Los Angeles performance a different energy from an ordinary tour stop. Final-night shows often leave more room for extended thanks, surprises and a sense that the production has reached its most settled form.

The show should appeal to listeners who found Swims through a single as well as those following the full I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy era.
