Sam Fender is coming back to Australia — and this time, he’s not holding anything back.
After a run of sold-out headline shows in 2022 and 2023 that firmly established his reputation with Australian crowds, the Tyneside titan returns this November for his biggest outdoor headline shows to date. Riding a wave of critical acclaim, stadium-scale success, and a third BRIT Award, Fender’s new era is equal parts visceral and victorious.
He arrives hot off the release of People Watching, his chart-topping third album — the UK’s fastest-selling record of the year so far — packed with aching ballads and stadium-shakers that stretch his songwriting into bolder, brighter territory. The album has already earned triple j’s coveted Feature Album slot and reaffirmed his crossover appeal in Australia.
Joining him is celebrated singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, returning to Australia after her own triumphant, sold-out tour in 2024. The pair’s creative chemistry was first laid bare in an acoustic rework of Fender’s breakout anthem Seventeen Going Under, and later supercharged on stage when Humberstone supported his hometown shows at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park.
With a storming Coachella set behind him, a UK stadium tour that includes a staggering 78,000 at London Stadium, and his BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend headline still echoing in the air, Sam Fender’s next chapter in Australia promises to be monumental.
