Sam Fender Announces 2025 Australian Tour With Holly Humberstone

Sam Fender has announced his return to Australia as part of his world tour supporting his third studio album, People Watching. The multi-platinum Novacastrian singer-songwriter will tour nationally with his band, as well as fellow English indie artist Holly Humberstone as main support for all shows. The full list of dates, as well as ticketing information, can be found below.

Fender was last in Australia circa 2023, where he performed at the final Splendour In The Grass to date alongside the likes of Lizzo, Flume and Mumford & Sons. In addition to performing at the festival, Fender and his band also performed a one-off show at Perth’s HBF Stadium. Humberstone, meanwhile, is returning following her run of shows over the 2023/24 new-year period – which included performances at both the Heaps Good and Lost Paradise festivals.

Sam Fender – ‘People Watching’

People Watching was released in February 2025 and debuted at the top of the UK album charts – completing a trifecta of albums to do so alongside his 2019 debut Hypersonic Missiles and its follow-up, 2021’s Seventeen Going Under. Its release was preceded by the release of its title track, which peaked at number four on the UK singles chart and has since been certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). A follow-up EP, Me And The Dog, was released last month.
