Sam Fender announces more huge UK outdoor shows for summer 2025
Sam Fender has announced more massive UK shows to his tour for summer 2025. Find the details below.
It comes as the Geordie singer-songwriter confirmed details of his biggest stadium gigs to date at the end of last year — announcing a stop at the 75,000-capacity London Stadium on June 6, his first stadium headline date outside of Newcastle – and a run of shows at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park later in the month.
Now, following huge demand for tickets, Fender has shared details of three more huge UK outdoor shows.
These all take place in August, following the run of previously announced European tour dates and include a stop at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 16. The second new date will be held in Scotland as part of the Edinburgh Summer Sessions and takes place on August 22 at the Royal Highland Showgrounds.
Finally, the third and final new show will be held at the Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast as part of the VITAL Series. This gig will round off all planned UK and European tour dates for 2025 and be held on August 28.
Support for the first two shows will come from Olivia Dean, while CMAT will be opening the show in Belfast.
Tickets go on sale from Friday (February 21) at 10am GMT, although pre-sale options will begin from Tuesday (18). Visit here to buy tickets and find a list of UK tour dates below.
