Sam Fender: Geordie singer announces third album and 'People Watching' tour

Geordie singer Sam Fender has announced that he is heading back on the road with a UK and European tour as he teases his third album.

The announcement was made at 10am on Friday, October 18, via the singer’s website - with the upcoming shows titled the “People Watching Tour”.

Sam will be playing Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on Friday, December 20 - with access to tickets for the show only available through a ballot.

The singer’s website has stated that only fans with a postcode beginning with NE, DH, SR, DL or TS will be permitted entry into the ballot.

This postcode will be matched against billing addresses to ensure that they are genuine fans living in the North East of England.

The ballot will be open until 5pm on Monday, October 21 - with those successful being sent an email after that time; however, it does not mean that they will be guaranteed tickets.

Fans who pre-order his third album, currently known as ‘SF3’, will be granted a pre-sale code for early ticket access for all the other tour dates.
