Fresh from being named as NME‘s Album Of The Year for Seventeen Going Under, Sam Fender has now announced details of a huge London gig at Finsbury Park for summer 2022 – with some very special guests.
To round off the huge success surrounding the North Shields’ singer-songwriter’s second album, Fender will be following in the footsteps of the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Queens Of The Stone Age, Pulp and Liam Gallagher by headlining Finsbury Park.
The huge show on Friday, July 15 will see him being joined by a hand-picked roster of Fontaines D.C., Declan McKenna, Beabadoobee and Goat Girl, with many more to be announced.
“It’s the biggest gig we’ve put on so far – 45,000 tickets,” Fender told NME. “It’s gonna be like Sam Fender with his mates and friends. We’ve got Fontaines D.C. confirmed so far, and I’m so, so excited because I absolutely adore them boys. Their last record was second to none, you know, it was amazing. It’s going to be a really exciting night.
“I’m just embracing it, man. I’m excited. Just the fact that you mentioned artists like Queens Of The Stone Age and Arctic Monkeys has put a shiver up my spine. We’re here now and we’ve got to fucking pretend that we know what we’re doing!”
He added: “I’m absolutely psyched to be playing Finsbury Park. What a mad night this is going to be. Some huge artists have played there over the years, and it seems crazy that we will headline it next Summer. I’m bringing some friends along too, it’s gonna be wild. Cannot wait.”
As for his other live plans for 2022, Fender told NME: “We’ve got a big arena tour coming up too. We did a lot of dates this year. Festival-wise I think we’re doing Glastonbury, and whatever ones we didn’t do last year I think we’re doing this year.”
Sam Fender will headline London’s Finsbury Park on Friday July 15. Tickets will go on pre-sale from 9am on Wednesday (December 15). before a general sale from 9am on Friday (December 17).
