Sam Fender is has announced details of a new UK & Ireland arena tour to celebrate his sophomore album Seventeen Going Under - set to take place in March 2022.

The nine shows, which marks Sam and his band’s biggest to date, kick off at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on 20th March, and ends with a homecoming show at Utilita Arena, Newcastle on 5th April.

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter will play Dublin's 3Arena on March 24th. For early access, pre-order the new album before 5pm Tuesday 12th October. Tickets from €45.05 go on general sale from 9am on October 15th.

The gigs will conclude this November, with two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace, and shows in Glasgow, Cardiff, Leeds, and Newcastle. The Geordie's return to the live arena this summer has been explosive thus far, seeing Sam play to hundreds of thousands of fans on festival stages.

Fender's eagerly-anticipated second album, Seventeen Going Under, arrives tomorrow, October 8th.
