Sam Fender Unveils UK And European Tour Dates
Sam Fender will be performing in his hometown of Newcastle, but tickets will only be accessible to those who have postcodes from the North East.
Sam Fender has unveiled his upcoming tour across the UK and Europe.
The singer-songwriter is set to embark on a UK tour this December, marking his first extensive tour of the country since 2022.
He will kick off his journey in Dublin, Ireland, on December 2, then move on to Leeds, Manchester, London, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
The musician from North Shields will wrap up the UK segment of the People Watching tour in Newcastle on December 20. Tickets are exclusively available through a lottery for fans who have North East postal codes.
Fender hinted at the news on his website and last took the stage in Newcastle in June 2023, delivering two sold-out performances at Newcastle United's St James' Park.
According to the ticket sales website Kilimanjaro Live, only fans living in areas with postcodes starting with NE, DH, SR, DL, and TS will be able to purchase tickets for the concert at Newcastle's Utilita Arena.
Winning tickets will be chosen at random, and fans will be allowed to purchase a maximum of four tickets each.
The application period for Newcastle tickets is currently ongoing and will close on Monday.
Fender has already performed two completely sold-out shows at St James' Park, home of Newcastle United.
The star of "Seventeen Going Under" is set to embark on a European tour starting in March, featuring nine performances across various countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
Tickets will be available to the public starting on October 25 at 10:00 AM BST.
Fender's earlier albums, "Hypersonic Missiles" released in 2019 and "Seventeen Going Under" from 2021, both reached number one on the UK charts. The second album even received a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize.
He has received two Brit awards, both of which have been converted into beer taps at the Low Lights Tavern in North Shields. This is the pub in North Tyneside where he was employed and where he was first discovered.
