Every Sam Fender show this summer and how to watch live including Radio 1 Big Weekend

This year has already seen Sam Fender pick up a Brit Award as well as the top spot in the UK Album charts for his highly anticipated third album People Watching, and now he is taking the new songs on the road.

Fender is set for a huge summer ahead with shows in the UK and beyond and these are all the gigs the North Tyneside-born star has coming up over the next couple of months.

Much like most years, the UK’s season of major festivals gets underway at Radio One’s Big Weekend which takes place in Liverpool this year. Fender will be headlining the Saturday night of the sold out event.

Following main stage sets from the likes of Myles Smith, Blossoms and Wolf Alice, Fender’s headline slot will kick off at 8:45pm and is expected to run until 9:45pm. The set is expected to be live streamed on BBC’s iPlayer streaming service.

After the Big Weekend slot, Fender will take a weekend off before embarking on a huge four nights in UK stadiums. This will start on Friday, June 6 at the former Olympic Stadium in London before three homecoming shows at St James Park on Thursday, June 12, Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15. The trio of shows will be Fender’s first performances in the North East since he last played at the stadium.

All of these UK shows have sold out.

The following weekend will see Fender head to mainland Europe with a one hour set at Hurricane Festival in Germany. This will come on Saturday, June 21 with the star sharing a lineup with the likes of The Prodigy, Deftones, Jimmy Eat World and more.

Just one day later Fender will perform at Hurricane’s sister festival, Southside, which also takes place in Germany.

Following this, Fender will return to the UK for a set at Silverstone on Thursday, July 3 as part of the British Grand Prix weekend’s opening concert. Anyone hoping for tickets can still pick up tickets through the event’s website.
