Sam Fender has just dropped details of a brand new UK and European tour kicking off this December. Titled the People Watching tour, this announcement came as a welcome surprise to his fanbase; we all knew a new album was brewing but a tour this soon to see out the year was unexpected (yet very welcomed).

There was some talk over the week as ads were seen outside major arenas across the UK on socials, which just added to the excitement. Now all seven dates have been revealed, starting off in Dublin and ending in Glasgow on the 16th of December before heading off to Europe in March 2025. Ever since his debut back in 2017, Sam Fender has been making waves across the industry and firmly cemented himself as one the UK’s most talented singer-songwriters to date.

Another welcome announcement for this string of dates is the news that the gritty grunge-led four-piece Wunderhorse will be their support across the tour. Both acts will be kicking things off in Dublin on the 2nd of December before moving onto Manchester, London, Birmingham and finishing off in Glasgow. An extra date for a hometown show has been added on the 20th of December but this show will be by ballot only for customers with North East postcodes due to expected high demand.

Tickets for all shows go on sale from October 25th at 10am and can be found here.
