Sam Fender has added three extra dates to his 2027 UK and Ireland ‘Proper Massive’ stadium tour following huge demand.
The singer-songwriter announced his 2027 tour dates last week after dropping a teaser online. Kicking off next summer, they include two homecoming shows at Newcastle’s St James’ Park in June, before further stops in Cardiff, London, Dublin, Edinburgh and Manchester.
Now, following huge demand as tickets went live, Fender has added three additional shows to the upcoming trek. These include a second night at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 12, a second night at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on July 10, and a third night at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 2.
Support at all UK stadium dates comes from Wunderhorse, barring the September 2 show at Wembley. Tickets for all dates are on sale now, and you can visit here for tickets.

When shows were first announced, Fender went on to express his frustration with the “inflated” ticket prices – sharing that he was working to make admission more affordable and scrap premium front-standing tickets.
There were also issues when it came to the pre-sale, which went live earlier this week, when a “sophisticated bot attack” affected a ticketing site and forced Fender to push back the pre-sale for his Newcastle shows by 24hours.
Gigantic Tickets confirmed an “unusually high volume of suspicious activity” on the site and were facing error messages as a result. Fender then confirmed to fans that the timings would be adjusted to ensure tickets were available to “real fans”.
It is worth noting that the tour schedule still leaves a noticeable gap around the time that Glastonbury takes place (June 23-27). While no artists have been officially announced for Glasto 2027, Fender is among the bookies’ favourites, along with Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Little Simz, plus Harry Styles, Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Muse and The Rolling Stones. If Fender is confirmed, it will be his first slot at Worthy Farm since 2022.
Fender’s last tour saw him raise £50,000 from ticket sales for the charity Youth Music. He also dropped the ‘Live At London Stadium’ concert film that captured the huge ‘People Watching’ shows.
