Sam Fender is very pleased to announce three huge stadium headline shows for next Summer in support of his forthcoming new album, People Watching.
Sam plays London Stadium on Friday 6th June, which becomes his biggest headline show to date, before returning north for two hometown shows at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park on Thursday 12th + Saturday 14th June.
It’ll be the third and fourth time the North Shields musician has performed in his home city stadium, having sold-out two nights back in 2023. He will overtake The Rolling Stones who have performed at St James’ Park on three previous occasions.
The 75,000 capacity show at London Stadium will be Sam’s first stadium headline date outside of Newcastle.
CMAT supports on all three shows, and The War on Drugs will play on 6th and 14th June.
Graham Gilmore, CEO of London Stadium: "We are thrilled to welcome Sam Fender in summer 2025 for his first ever stadium show in London! He is one of the most exciting live artists performing right now, a real rising star selling out shows across the UK, so we are delighted he is coming to London Stadium. It promises to be another unforgettable night at our venue.”
Exclusive access to the London Stadium pre-sale is available by signing up at top of this page, with tickets going on general sale from 9:30am on Friday 29th November.
Last week sparked an explosive return for Fender, with news of his third album “People Watching” set for release on 21st February 2024, and the sharing of the new record’s anthemic title-track.

As previously announced, next month Sam heads out on the first leg of The People Watching Tour across the UK/Ireland, with all the arena dates long since sold out. He then heads to Europe for the second leg of the tour in March 2025. Sam is also confirmed to appear at next year’s Rock Werchter festival in July.
About Sam Fender:
If Sam Fender’s debut album, 2019’s Hypersonic Missiles, introduced a smart, streetwise young British songwriter with a penchant for euphoric, hard-hitting guitar anthems, it was 2021’s peerless Seventeen Going Under that sent the Newcastle artist stratospheric.
An acute observer who turns the mirror not only on the streets that he grew up walking, but to himself too, the record was a tough-talking but tender account of Fender’s childhood and finding his feet in the North-East of England. It’s also a classic coming-of-age story, marrying relatable family themes and broken friendships with colossal choruses.
The album’s subsequent success took Fender across the globe, playing to bigger rooms and wider stages. And having been invited to support the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, and Neil Young, Sam has since become not only an effortless festival headliner in his own right, but a stadium one as well.
Seventeen Going Under reaped a clutch of awards, including BRITs, NMEs, an Ivor Novello, and a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination too.
In February 2025, Sam Fender releases his third album, People Watching. Now solidified as one of Britain’s most accomplished songwriters of his generation and the next, if Seventeen Going Under was Sam’s “coming of age” record, People Watching is his next step forward - colourful stories and observations of everyday characters living their everyday, but often extraordinary, lives.
