The Unholy singer is set to perform at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark on Saturday, May 29.

Smith’s Gloria Tour was criticized by some for its use of religious imagery and flamboyant costumes.

The singer revealed earlier this year that they’ve been spat on in the street since coming out as non-binary.

They said: “I’m being abused in the street, verbally, more than I ever have. So that was the hardest part, was being at home in the UK and having people shouting at me in the street.

“Someone spat on me on the street. It’s crazy.”
