Sam Fender Announces 'The Proper Massive Stadium Tour' 2027

01 Sam Fender IndiaFleming — Sam Fender played to more than 150,000 fans at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park in June 2025. There are many reasons he’s able to do this, but Robbie Williams gave the most important one in a post-BRITs post on Instagram: “He’s been passed the baton for songwriting. He’s been given that brand of magic. He sings for us. He speaks about us. He writes about us.” *Picture by India Fleming*

Sam Fender announced six stadium shows for 2027, including two in his hometown of Newcastle, as well as Fender’s biggest headline shows to date at London’s Wembley Stadium, June 18-20, 2027.

It kicks off with two nights at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park, June 3-5, which will mark Fender’s sixth and seventh show at his hometown stadium, following two in 2023, and three in 2025. Last year’s three performances, June 12-15, 2025, moved 150,041 tickets for a $14,643,784 gross, according to the box office reports submitted to Pollstar.

Next on Fender’s newly announced 2027 itinerary is Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, June 10, two nights at Wembley, a show at Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, July 8, and two nights at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, July 15-17.

The tour also stops at Dublin’s Marlay Park on July 1, before Fender’s first European festival headline slot at next Summer’s Rock Werchter in Belgium on Saturday, July 3.

The shows are promoted by Kilimanjaro Live, SJM Concerts, Communion One in the UK, as well as DJ Concerts in Scotland and MCD in Ireland. Support on all UK stadium dates comes from British alt-rock band, Wunderhorse.

Sam Fender released his third number-one album People Watching in 2025 (Polydor Records). The album won the 2025 Mercury Prize, with Fender also picking up a BRIT Award in 2025, two BRIT Awards 2026, and an Ivor Award for Songwriter of the Year, since its release.

He debuted People Watching’s “Rein Me In” alongside Olivia Dean at his June 6, 2025 London Stadium Show, before it was released as a duet later that month. That show moved 78,529 tickets and grossed $7,952,770, according to the box office report. Fender

In 2026, the song became the longest running number one single in British history, taking the Brit Award for Song of the Year, and topping the charts in Ireland for 18 weeks equalling the Irish chart record.
