When will Sam Fender announce his 2027 tour?
There is no word yet on when Sam Fender will officially announce his 2027 UK and Ireland tour. With that being said, fans should sign up for the star’s mailing list for all of the latest updates.
Any further details could possibly come alongside news about new music, as Mercury Prize-winner Fender hasn’t released any music this year, nor has he played any headline gigs so far.
That’s despite the year being a successful one for his music. Though released in June 2025, Fender’s track with Olivia Dean, Rein Me In, has dominated the UK Singles Chart, spending 23 non-consecutive weeks in the top spot and becoming the longest-running number one in UK history.
