Last updated 25th Mar 2025
'Miami' singer Will Smith has announced his first full tour called 'Based On A True Story Tour', and he will be performing three dates in England in August 2025.
The singer, who has released hits like 'Summertime', 'Gettin' Jiggy Wit It', and the iconic 'Men in Black' theme tune, will be taking to the stage in Manchester, London and Wolverhampton, with tickets on sale now.
The announcement arrives just days after Will confirmed he would be releasing a brand new album called 'Based On A True Story', on Friday 28th March. Taking to social media, he wrote: 'It’s OFFICIAL!! My new album Based On A True Story drops March 28. TWO WEEKS!! Hit that presave. Been working on this project for a minute and I’m itchin’ to get it out to y’all'. (sic)
It's been 20 years since Will last released an album, his last being 'Lost and Found', spawning hits 'Switch' and 'Party Starter'.
In addition to this tour announcement, the singer has already announced a gig in Las Vegas telling his fans: "You know, a lot of people don't know, but I've never done a full tour before, this is going to be the first time in my life, that I've actually done a full tour. I wanted to do a smaller performance, because a lot of times when you work with a smaller audience you can test the intimacy and the ideas and stuff.
"I got my visuals and everything you know, working out the stuff with the band. So I just wanna see what ya'll think, so come down help me out cause I need your opinion."
Over the years, Will Smith has become a household name, rising to fame following his appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, followed by a successful music career, returning to acting to appear in films such as Independence Day, Men In Black, Bad Boys and last year's sequel Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
