Sam Smith joined BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge on 9 October 2026, with the appearance forming part of the station’s Live Lounge Month programme. The broadcast placed the singer in a studio format built around live performance, an original song and a cover.
My Guy and The Fear frame Sam Smith’s Radio 1 session
The BBC programme listing identifies Sam Smith’s edition as a 45-minute Live Lounge broadcast released on 9 October 2026. It names My Guy as the original song and Lily Allen’s The Fear as the cover.
The selection links the performance to Smith’s current material while retaining the show’s familiar contrast between their own repertoire and reinterpretation. BBC Radio 1’s wider line-up places the session among weekday performances presented by Charlie Hedges and Jeremiah Asiamah throughout October 2026.
Hazel Eyes links the broadcast to Sam Smith’s album catalogue
The broadcast was tied to the listening cycle around Hazel Eyes, which the official album catalogue places beside My Guy, When He’s Gone and Oh Mother. The catalogue also lists In The Lonely Hour, The Thrill Of It All, Love Goes and Gloria.
That connection gives the 9 October 2026 programme a clear place within the album-led side of Smith’s work. Rather than treating the broadcast as a standalone appearance, the song choice brought the current release and the established Live Lounge format together.
Live Lounge Month puts the session into a wider BBC series
BBC Radio 1 described Live Lounge Month as a run of performances airing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at midday throughout October 2026. The broadcaster’s line-up also made the performances available through BBC Sounds, BBC iPlayer and YouTube, giving the Sam Smith session a broadcast and on-demand route.
