Sam Fender announces biggest ever concert at Finsbury Park: All you need to know including how to get tickets

Sam Fender has announced his largest concert of his career so far with a date at Finsbury Park in London.

The gig, which is being played on July 15 2022 will surpass Fender’s previous largest set at the Utilita Arena with a 40,000 capacity according to the singer.

Fender has also announced a full day of support sets including Irish post-punk rockers Fontaines DC, Indie singer-songwriter Declan McKenna, Beabadoobee and Goat Girl.

As part of the announcement, the North Shields local posted a video on his social media channels, saying: “It’s going to be the biggest moment of my life.

"We can’t even fathom what’s going on right now, but we’re chuffed and it’s going to be the biggest night ever.”

The announcement comes off the back of Fender’s Autumn and Winter tour which saw him headline top venues across the UK including London’s Brixton Academy and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena.

Thi is likely to be Fender’s last of what has been a career defining year. Having been told to isolate at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, he wrote his second UK number one album, Seventeen Going Under which was released in October 2021 and was also named as NME’s album of the year in addition to further widespread critical acclaim.

The album’s title track has seen a resurgence in popularity since the initial release and has been a mainstay in the top UK singles charts’ top 40 throughout November and December.

Previous acts to headline a day at FInsbury Park include Liam Gallagher, The Weeknd and Queens Of The Stone Age.

Finsbury Park will also be hosting a large George Ezra set over the summer of 2022.
