Sam Fender has announced details of his first stadium headline show - and one of summer 2023's hottest tickets - at St. James' Park.

"It's a childhood dream come true, and we're actually gonna play it on the 9th June. I can't wait, it's gonna be absolutely lush and I hope to see yas all there." This is literally gonna be the biggest show we've ever done - our first stadium show, which is so weird to say! This is literally gonna be the biggest show we've ever done."

Over the past few months, Fender has solidified himself as one of the most celebrated and successful British artists of his generation, pulling a huge crowd on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury ahead of his own 45,000 sell-out show at London's Finsbury Park. It's been a huge 2022 so far for the North Shields hero, picking up a slew of BRIT, NME, and Ivor Novello Awards, and a first nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize next week, for his second album, the critically acclaimed number one album, Seventeen Going Under.

In the wake of recent announcements of a landmark stadium performance at Newcastle United St. James' Park, Swathi Srinivasan reflects on two Sam Fender ...

It is that feeling that managed to intimately grip audiences as far-away as the Fonda and as vast as Finsbury Park. In a unique way, Fender has come to exemplify an untraditional bravery—one that does not necessarily solve the world’s ills but rather calls attention to them with masterful candor and poetic urgency (“it’s time to put the world to rights”, he sings in Alright).

I had gotten caught up watching the headlining artist—a singer-songwriter with a thick Geordie accent and unassuming green polo shirt—who I had almost written off in a haphazard attempt to salvage my schedule.
