Joining the revered British rock luminary is celebrated singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, returning to Australia following a triumphant, sold-out run of shows in 2024.
The duo first joined forces on a stirring acoustic rendition of Sam Fender’s anthemic hit ‘Seventeen Going Under’, before reuniting for an epic live moment — with Holly Humberstone supporting Fender at his monumental, sold-out homecoming shows at St. James’ Park.
Fresh off the global success of his third studio album People Watching, which debuted at #1 in the UK — the fastest-selling UK album of the year so far — Sam has cemented his place as one of the most compelling voices in modern rock. The album, which landed him his third BRIT Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act, was also named triple j’s Feature Album, further solidifying his cross-continental impact.
Following a triumphant performance at Coachella and a series of sold-out arena dates across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America, Sam is now bringing his largest ever outdoor headline shows to Australia.

These highly anticipated shows come just months after he headlines BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025 and sells out four massive stadium dates in the UK — including a career-defining 78,000-capacity show at London Stadium and three packed nights at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park.
Described as one of Britain’s most gifted songwriters of his generation, Sam’s new album People Watching sees him step boldly beyond the raw honesty of Seventeen Going Under. With vibrant stories and sharp observations of everyday lives lived with quiet resilience and unexpected beauty, People Watching is both intimate and expansive — an album of scale and soul.
The album’s title track has already become a fan favourite, alongside the powerful single ‘Arm’s Length’, which lit up his recent UK/Ireland arena tour. Responding to overwhelming fan demand, Sam has just released ‘Tyrants’ from his Record Store Day-exclusive EP Me and the Dog on streaming platforms — a track that has already become a live standout across both the US and European legs of his tour.
2025 is shaping up to be Sam Fender’s most iconic year yet — and now, Australia gets to be part of it.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
