Sam Fender has announced the full list of dates and locations for his 2027 tour, with the run kicking off at St James' Park in Newcastle on Thursday, June 3. The announcement follows a series of teasers, beginning with a message on the stadium turf and screen during Newcastle United's 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, which read: "Proper Massive. SF 27."
Tour locations revealed
A Lord of the Rings-inspired video released on Monday evening confirmed St James' Park as a venue, alongside the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Wembley Stadium and Marlay Park in Dublin. The full dates were revealed at 10am on Wednesday.
The confirmed dates are: June 3 and June 5 at St James' Park, Newcastle; June 10 at Principality Stadium, Cardiff; June 18 and June 20 at Wembley Stadium, London; July 1 at Marlay Park, Dublin; July 3 at Rock Werchter, Belgium (festival headline); July 8 at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh; and July 15 and July 17 at Etihad Stadium, Manchester.

Tickets go on general sale from 9:30am on Friday, October 30. Fans can access pre-sale for all UK and Irish headline dates by pre-ordering Sam's fourth album from the official Sam Fender store before 9am GMT on Monday, October 26.

Newcastle United has also secured a dedicated early-access ticket allocation for Season Ticket Holders and Mags Members, with eligible supporters able to access the pre-sale starting at 9:30am on October 29.
Support act confirmed
Support for all UK dates will come from Wunderhorse, the same act that opened for Sam at St James' Park in summer 2023. The announcement was welcomed by fans, with one reacting on X: "Wunderhorse opening for Fender is a proper dream bill," and another posting: "Wunderhorse being added to the show is the cherry on top."
