Sam Fender announces Hypersonic Missiles tour including two dates in Newcastle

Before he's even played a string of other sell out shows, Sam Fender has announced his biggest UK tour to date which will see him play two gigs on home turf.

Sam, who took home the Critics Choice award at this year's Brits, is gearing up to release his debut album Hypersonic Missiles and before 2019 is over will hit the road on a massive tour of the same name.

Kicking off in Manchester on November 22, the tour will bring North Shields musician Sam back to Newcastle for two back to back shows at the O2 Academy on December 7 and 8.

The new tour is announced as Sam commences his sold-out UK Spring tour in Manchester on Friday, which includes two nights at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on May 6 and 7.

The 25 year old will play a string of festivals across the UK and Europe throughout the summer including Glastonbury, TRNSMT, a huge outdoor headline show at Tynemouth Castle for Mouth of the Tyne and performances in both Victoria Park (All Points East) and Hyde Park (Bob Dylan + Neil Young).

Straight out of school, Sam found work behind the bar in a North Shields pub and was discovered by his eventual manager, when the pub’s landlord, recognising him, nudged Sam to go fetch his guitar and play something.

He did so and the pair have worked with each other ever since with this year seeing Sam's profile sky rocket across the globe, thanks to his Brit win, tracks like Play God and Dead Boys and appearances on top American TV shows.

Tickets for his Hypersonic Missiles tour will go on sale on Friday, May 10 online from Ticketmaster or See Tickets.

To get special pre-sale access to tickets head to Sam's website.
