Does Sam Fender have a new album?

Sam Fender has released two studio albums and one live album since 2019, and his new tour is linked to his third album, which will be called 'People Watching', and is set for release on 21st February.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Arts' Johnson and Knopfler's Music Legends, he revealed: "We have been recording and recording and making loads of stuff but it got to the point where I thought, ‘We don’t need to get this out yet. We need to get it right’.

“I want to do the best I possibly can. I’d rather it be late and great than early and s****."

Fender has been teasing the album for a while, and back in 2023, he played two huge sell-out homecoming shows at Newcastle’s St James’ Park, where he ran a cryptic advertising campaign for his third album.

Billboards outside the stadium showed Newcastle FC shirts for his first two albums, ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ and ‘Seventeen Going Under’ with the numbers 1 and 2 on each shirt respectively.

A third shirt with the number 3 had a QR code, which took fans to a page on Fender’s official webstore to pre-order a limited ‘Newcastle Edition’ of his then as-yet-untitled third album.

When did Sam Fender last tour?

Fender last toured in 2023, with his final performances coming as headline slots at the iconic Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Fender only played a handful of shows in 2023 – 16 to be exact – with the bulk of his shows to promote his second studio album ‘Seventeen Going Under’.

On the main ‘Seventeen Going Under’ tour, Fender hit many of the UK’s major arenas, including Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, London’s OVO Arena Wembley, and a hometown show at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena.
