UK singer-songwriter Sam Fender returns to Australian shores this November for a run of shows in support of his recently released third long player, People Watching.

Debuting at #1 on the UK Album Chart, People Watching is the fastest-selling UK album of 2025 so far and also earned Fender his third BRIT Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act.

Joining the acclaimed rocker on tour is indie singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, making her Australian return after a run of sold-out shows in 2024.

Having stunned fans with his compelling performance at Coachella, Fender is touring the UK and Europe from June to August before heading down under for five huge shows.

Fender’s People Watching tour begins with a concert at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday, November 14, and continues with gigs at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday, Sydney’s The Showring Entertainment Quarter on Friday, November 21, and Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Tuesday, November 25, before wrapping things up at Perth’s Kings Park & Botanic Garden on Friday, November 28.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 21, at 11:30am local time via secretsounds.com.

Arguably one of the most gifted songwriters to emerge out of the UK in decades, Sam Fender has cemented his credentials with the release of People Watching.

Following his 2019 debut, Hypersonic Missiles, and 2021 release, Seventeen Going Under, this year’s People Watching signifies tremendous growth in Fender’s songwriting, highlighted by the title track and hit single ‘Arm’s Length’.

An honest and down-to-earth songwriter who addresses themes such as love, mental health, class, grief and social issues with his heartwrenching compositions, Fender is one of the voices of our generation.

Catch Sam Fender at AEC Arena on Tuesday, November 25. For ticketing information, visit secretsounds.com.
