Since gaining recognition from BBC Radio in 2017, Sam Fender has risen through the ranks of the indie rock scene and is one of the best-loved musicians on the roster right now.

2023 was a big year for the singer in terms of live performances, with headline sets at Reading and Leeds Festival, and a giant homecoming weekend at Newcastle United’s St James’ Park. He also supported rock behemoths The Rolling Stones and The Killers back in 2022.

However, Fender has been mostly absent from the live music scene in 2024, bar a few live performances at the Plymouth Pavilions and the Boardmasters Festival during August.

Yes, Sam Fender's third studio album 'People Watching' is scheduled to be released on 21st February, 2025 and will support his new album on his 2025 tour.

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****."

Sam Fender has been teasing his new 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.
