Sam Fender, the Mercury Prize-winning songwriter from North Shields, takes Wembley Stadium for two summer nights on his Proper Massive Stadium Tour.
Sam Fender, the North Shields songwriter whose album People Watching won the 2025 Mercury Prize, plays Wembley Stadium on Friday 18 and Sunday 20 June 2027.
Fender grew up in a working-class family, and his father, an electrician turned music teacher, gave him his first guitar at eight. He began writing songs at 14 and learned to sing from Jeff Buckley’s Grace.
He won the Critics’ Choice Award at the 2019 Brit Awards. His debut album, Hypersonic Missiles, entered the UK chart at number one that year, and Seventeen Going Under did the same in 2021.
People Watching followed in February 2025 as his third number one album. Its duet with Olivia Dean, “Rein Me In”, has spent more weeks at number one than any single in British chart history.
The song won Song of the Year at the 2026 Brit Awards. His 2025 shows at London Stadium became the concert film Live at London Stadium.
Wembley is the only London stop on the tour. The dates come ahead of his fourth album, which has no title yet.
