Sam Fender has announced details of a new UK and European headline tour, with support from Wunderhorse.

The ‘People Watching’ tour kicks off in Dublin on December 3, with a London show set for The O2 on December 10. The tour will then head to mainland Europe in March for eight shows.

£1 from each ticket sold to the UK dates will go to the Music Venue Trust, following a similar move from Coldplay for their 2025 stadium dates.

The new announcement had been teased this week with a cryptic countdown clock on Fender’s website. It comes after the Geordie singer confirmed the completion of his third album earlier this month, while live shows this summer saw him debut the anthemic song ‘People Watching’ and a second song called ‘Nostalgia’s Lie’.

Tickets for all shows will go on sale from 10am on October 25 here. A ballot for the Newcastle show at the Utilita Arena will be available here via ballot to those with North-East postcodes.
