NorthernSoul52 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago "Sam Fender is very pleased to announce an arena tour this December, his first UK tour since Spring 2022. "The seven-date run commences in Dublin in six weeks on December 2nd at the 3Arena, and concludes on December 20th at the Utilita Arena back in Newcastle. The tour also calls in Leeds, Manchester, London, Birmingham, and Glasgow. "Sam’s return to London at the O2 Arena will signal his first performance in the capital since headlining Finsbury Park back in the Summer of 2022. Since those dates, Sam has headlined Reading & Leeds Festival in 2023, and Boardmasters earlier this Summer. "Due to the expected high demand, tickets for the Newcastle show on will be available by ballot to customers with North-East postcodes only. "£1 from every ticket sold for the UK dates will be donated to the Music Venue Trust in support of grassroots venues." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be BST, IOW and maybe TRNSMT for Fender. Have 2026 off and 27 be available for Glastonbury. He's very much there though for this year if the call is made though.

I’ve just said elsewhere but he’s asked to be considered for 2025 festivals. I’d imagine he could well be a Glasto special guest and then fill in IF needed. But specially lined up for 2027 to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously loves the festival and is happy to see himself lower but the festival don't want to use him before his headline time, he's 3rd down choice for me. I kinda don't see the point in a secret size either without the festival being on in 26. My guess is the 27 conversation has been had. I've already put out Fontaines, Chappell and Fender as my current 27 prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFD Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I've got no opinion on Mr Fender, but I am liking the very old fashioned nature of this "campaign" - album announced at short notice and tour dates at six weeks' notice rather than selling dates over a year in advance and releasing singles six months ahead of the album so it feels old by the time it comes out. (I know it maybe wasn't planned that way - it might have been touch and go whether the album would be ready in time for the pre Christmas dates that were being held).

Its good to see another major act doing it after Coldplay - especially one who is a brand new major act pretty much 🙂 good on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I do like him, but hard agree on this. Buying tickets for a gig in only a few weeks time is a welcome blast from the past. Anyone have an idea on prices?

Alan_C Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago £82.75 with fee's for standing at the O2 on gigs and tours so it'll probably be a few quid less for other venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Birmingham's prices, with fees, are: £55.30 £66.60 £69.40 £77.90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago They're high, especially for a chap who will likely play only fifteen to sixteen songs at an hour-and-a-half, but maybe this is the time where his shows can start creeping towards the two-hour mark.

You never know your luck. Will sell out so fast he could’ve easily charged over £100. Under £80 for the top price tickets is pretty good these days.

We’ve been to see Wunderhorse separately (Kentish Town) and super happy they are supporting Fender. Be great to see them in a bigger venue. Just got to get tickets now 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
