Teddy Swims - I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour

Teddy Swims rolled into Rod Laver Arena and turned it into a soul revival with a splash of grit and groove. No smoke and mirrors, no over-the-top theatrics — just that voice, the band, and a crowd completely locked in from the first note of Lose Control.

He moves like someone who’s lived every lyric. You can hear the heartbreak and the hope in his delivery, shifting from smooth R&B tones to that raw, gravelly edge that makes him impossible to ignore. Tracks like Bed on Fire and The Door hit heavy, while Some Things I’ll Never Know brought a spark of joy back into the set. The crowd sang every line like they’d been waiting all year for this.

Between songs, Teddy kept it real — talking about his journey, cracking jokes, and showing that same down-to-earth charm that’s made him one of the most genuine acts out right now. His band brought the fire too, sliding between soul, funk, and pop effortlessly.

As the night wrapped up, Teddy took a moment to soak it all in smiling at the crowd, thanking everyone like he genuinely meant it. You could feel that connection between artist and audience, raw and unfiltered. It wasn’t just a concert; it felt like a celebration of heart, hustle, and honesty. The kind of night that reminds you why live music hits so hard

Teddy Swims didn’t just play Melbourne — he connected with it. A night of big vocals, real emotion, and a reminder that soul music still hits hardest when it’s honest.
