Lineup
Georgia singer-songwriter known for his earthquaking vocals
Born and raised in Atlanta as a pastor’s grandson, Jaten Dimsdale played American football and was involved in musical theatre while in high school. In addition, he joined bands of different genres, performing everything from hip hop, soul and funk to country and rock. Before long, he’d built a reputation for his soaring vocals and swaggering style.
In early 2019, Dimsdale started uploading videos to YouTube from his makeshift bedroom studio under the name Teddy Swims. They were usually covers of artists he admired like H.E.R.(Opens in new tab) and George Strait(Opens in new tab). After releasing a cover of Michael Jackson’s Rock With You that summer, his social media following skyrocketed and Dimsdale was signed to Warner Records.
By 2020, he’d gone from covering his idols to performing his own original music. A prolific writer, Teddy Swims penned nearly 300 songs, first gaining traction with the track Broke featuring Thomas Rhett(Opens in new tab). He did also issue a cover Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On and contributed the earnings to the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.
Named by Rolling Stone to their 2021 Artists To Watch list, Teddy Swims took inspiration from all the lessons he’d learned over the preceding year, through the challenges of the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic, and began recording his debut EP Unlearning. He released the tracks My Bad and ’Til I Change Your Mind in advance of its arrival in May 2021 and then spent the summer providing support for the Zac Brown Band(Opens in new tab) during their Comeback Tour stadium shows.
In September 2021, Teddy Swims unveiled Bed On Fire with Ingrid Andress(Opens in new tab) and announced a UK tour for February 2022.
Having released his debut studio album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part I) in September 2023, Teddy announced UK shows for May 2024, including London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire and the O2 Academy Glasgow.
Having released the single 'Bad Dreams', in September 2024 Teddy announced the I've Tried Everything But Therapy tour for March 2025, with dates in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.

Teddy Swims/ Cian Ducrot Sun 16th March Absolutely amazing. Best concert ive ever had the pleasure to see. 👏👏👏
We had such a great experience on Sunday for the Teddy Swims show. Every member of staff we encountered were so helpful and friendly and getting into the stadium and to our seats was so quick and easy everything just felt so in sync definitely the best experience we've had at the venue! First class! Thank you
Parking too expensive. Drinks too expensive. There was no need for the queuing system they put in place for C. It was more confusing.people shouting at you to queue over the road.What is the hype over the co op live. If your standing you have to make your way right through everyone to access a drink or the bathroom.That in its self is badly designed on the floor space . Blue parking stay in inside lane . Don't follow the signs for the outside lane as there is only one lane to turn left. I would dred going in bad weather as you queue outside...
From booking tickets to welcoming friendly helpful venue staff well organised security inside and during the show. Supporting group is now one I will follow and Teddy Swimms himself what a voice when live also very engaging with audience and proved to be aware and caring when there were a few incidents in standing area The show lighting and pyrotechnics were spot on and safe!! Thank you to all involved we had a thoroughly enjoyable night
Always didn't like going to Coop arena, but at least Teddy Swims made it worthwhile. His range and genres of songs is brilliant. He comes across as a really great and real guy,
Brilliant show, Teddy Swims came across as very personable, with a fantastic voice. His band, backing singers and the warm up act, Cian Ducrot were all truly amazing too
Fantastic venue watching Teddy Swims He was incredible.
