Sam Fender at Fillmore Auditorium

Sam Fender has recently announced his third studio album, titled People Watching. In celebration, the star shared its title song and we’re obsessed! The English rock artist co-produced his new track with one of his favorite working musicians, the War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. The opus is the follow up to 2021’s Seventeen Going Under. “Now solidified as one of Britain’s most accomplished songwriters of his generation and the next, if Seventeen Going Under was Sam’s “coming of age” record, People Watching is his next step forward – colourful stories and observations of everyday characters living their everyday, but often extraordinary, lives,” says That Eric Alper.

“Seventeen Going Under” is also an album that has taken Sam Fender to all corners of the globe, constantly playing to bigger rooms and wider stages. He also has loads of awards lining his trophy shelf, including BRITs, NMEs, Ivor Novellos, as well as a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination. The star headlined his first festivals in the UK in the Summer of 2022, and he now packs out venues, like recently selling out all 45,000 tickets to his most recent London performance show.

Landing on February 21 via Capitol, People Watching arrives just in time for Sam Fender’s most anticipated concert in Denver, Colorado. The trek starts in Dublin, Ireland and makes its way to major venues around the world, before sending off in style at the Fillmore Auditorium on Thursday 24th April 2025! The tour comes in support of People Watching and is set to be performed in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Canada. For the album, Sam Fender teamed up with longtime friends and collaborators Dean Thompson and Joe Atkinson, as well as Granduciel and producer Markus Dravs. The 11-song tracklist includes, People Watching, Nostalgia’s Lie, Chin Up, Wild Long Lie, Arm’s Length, Crumbling Empire, Little Bit Closer, Rein Me In, TV Dinner, Something Heavy, and Remember My Name. “Sam Fender’s ‘People Watching’ is a grand return from one of the UK’s best storytellers,” praises NME.
