Sam Fender has announced three huge stadium headline shows for next summer in support of his forthcoming new album ‘People Watching’.
The 30-year-old is set to play the London Stadium on Friday 6 June, which will become his biggest headline show to date, before returning north for two hometown shows at Newcastle’s St James’ Park on Thursday 12 and Saturday 14 June.
It will be the third and fourth time the North Shields musician has performed in his home city stadium, having sold-out two nights back in 2023.
He will overtake The Rolling Stones who have performed at St James’ Park on three previous occasions.
The 75,000 capacity show at the London Stadium will be Sam’s first stadium headline date outside of Newcastle.
CMAT is the support act at all three shows, and The War on Drugs will play on 6 and 14 June.
Fans who pre-order ‘People Watching’ from Sam’s store by 10 on Monday (25.11.24), or who have already pre-ordered the record via Sam’s store, will receive early access to tickets from 9.30am on Tuesday 26 November.
All remaining tickets go on general sale from 9.30am on Friday 29 November via www.samfender.com.
A pound rom every ticket sold will be donated back into select cultural organisations such as Youth Music and Sunday For Sammy to support the arts in the North East of England.
Last week sparked an explosive return for Fender, with news of his third album ‘People Watching’ set for release on 21 February 2025.
Sam will also next month head out on the first leg of ‘The People Watching Tour’ across the UK and Ireland, with all the arena dates long sold out.
He then heads to Europe for the second leg of the tour in March 2025.
Sam is also confirmed to appear at next year’s Rock Werchter festival in July.
Full supporting line ups will be announced in the coming weeks.
