British vocalist Sam Smith will perform in the Chinese mainland for the very first time at Beijing's Cadillac Arena on October 25 as part of his The Thrill of It All world tour, the event's organizer AEG announced on Wednesday.
An impressive musician known for his soul and sensibility, Smith set a new Guinness World Record for highest number of consecutive weeks on the British Official Top Ten Albums Chart with his 2014 album In the Lonely Hour, which was on the chart for 69 weeks straight.

Ticket sales in the Chinese mainland will begin on June 7.
