Due to demand, the North Shields singer-songwriter will play a third and final show at Newcastle's St. James Park on June 15, following his previously announced gigs there on June 12 and 14.
The shows are part of the summer 2025 leg of his People Watching Tour, which also features a concert at London Stadium on June 6, his biggest headline show to date and his first headline stadium performance outside of Newcastle.
CMAT will provide support at all four shows, and The War on Drugs will perform on June 6, 14 and 15. To help with grassroots venues, £1 from every ticket sold for all of Fender's gigs will be donated to the Music Venue Trust.
The 30-year-old recently shared details of his third album, 'People Watching', along with the record's title track. The follow-up to 2021's 'Seventeen Going Under' will arrive on February 21 via Polydor.
In December, he'll embark on the UK and Ireland arena leg of his People Watching Tour, with support from Wunderhorse. European dates will follow in March 2025, with support from CMAT.
He'll play New York's Webster Hall on February 11 and will head back across the pond for a short run of North American dates in April.
He'll also appear at next summer's Hurricane and Southside festivals in Germany, and Rock Werchter festival in Belgium in July. Tickets are on sale now.
