Every confirmed Sam Fender gig in 2025 as North Shields superstar announced for Radio 1's Big Weekend
2025 is set to be a huge year for Sam Fender.
The North Tyneside local has already ensured this year will be one to remember, with the release of his highly anticipated third studio album People Watching being released in February, with the record’s third single Arm’s Length put to the public in January.
In addition to the result of his work in the studio, Fender returned to the stage last year after a period of time away from the spotlight with a couple of festival appearances.
This year will see more public engagements from Fender, who will be promoting the new album as well as returning to the Brit Awards after being nominated for two awards earlier in January.
It was a heartbreaking end to 2024 for Fender and his team, as the singer-songwriter was forced to cancel two shows, including a homecoming gig in Newcastle due to health issues.
As part of the album rollout, more live performances are coming in 2025, and these are the current full list of dates.

Will Sam Fender play Glastonbury?
Initially one of the favourites to headline the iconic festival, Fender’s odds have slipped in recent weeks and months. The artist’s schedule for the weekend currently has a Glastonbury shaped hole with no other shows over the weekend, although it is not yet known who will perform at the festival, aside from Rod Stewart, Neil Young and Nile Rodgers, who were confirmed late last year.
The Glastonbury lineup has been released in March in recent years, although there is no pattern as to when news is announced regarding the event.
