Sam Fender is taking things to another level. The North Shields songwriter has announced his Proper Massive Stadium Tour for summer 2027, including two nights at Wembley Stadium and a return to Newcastle United’s St James’ Park.
It is a huge step even for an artist already accustomed to enormous crowds. And there is another reason for alternative-rock fans to pay attention: Wunderhorse will support the UK stadium dates, putting one of British guitar music’s most exciting bands in front of an even bigger audience.

- 18 and 20 June – Wembley Stadium, London
