Sam Fender announces Australian headline tour for November 2022
Our fave Geordie is heading back to our shores...
Breakout British artist Sam Fender will make his way back to Australian stages this November for a run of much-anticipated headline shows.
Since he was last on our shores back in July 2019 for Splendour In The Grass and a handful of sideshows, a lot has gone down in the world of Sam Fender.
He’s released two albums – his incredible debut Hypersonic Missiles and its 2021 follow-up Seventeen Going Under – he’s won a Brit Award, scored a UK #1 album, played to sold out crowds right across the UK, Europe, and the US (including headlining London’s Finsbury Park earlier this month) and taken the stage at every festival you can possibly think of including a huge set at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
Now, this November, fans will finally get the chance to see Sam Fender perform again – taking in his biggest headline Australian shows to date.

Since the release of his debut single ‘Play God’ back in 2017, Sam Fender has been amassing a loyal gathering of fans, and turning heads of music critics, across the UK and around the world. Thanks to his propulsive, politically charged brand of indie rock, he was named on BBC’s Sound of 2018 shortlist, and it has been full steam ahead ever since.
He burst on to the scene sharing honest, vulnerable reflections about the small Newcastle town he calls home, stories overheard in dark pubs, and criticisms of the world outside it. On his second album Seventeen Going Under, Sam Fender instead turned the focus inwards, with soaring arrangements and bold statements soundtracking a record brimming with intimate, poignant, and relatable storytelling.
It is that relatable storytelling that saw the album’s title track become the social media soundtrack for people around the world to share their own personal tales of abuse and mistreatment.
Now, Fender is ready to bring his celebrated live show to Australia again.

Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue
If you aren’t familiar with Smart Queue, it is Ticketmaster’s way of creating a clear and fair process for thousands of fans to buy tickets in a short space of time. Fans enter the virtual Waiting Room prior to onsale time before joining the Smart Queue – which acts as a ‘virtual line’, helping us protect you and your tickets in a more effective way.
The time you join the Waiting Room does not determine your place in the Smart Queue, so we recommend joining at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale but there is no need to rush.
When the sale begins, the Smart Queue will open and everyone in the Waiting Room is given a place in line. Those who did not join the Waiting Room will be placed at the end of the line.
- –Sign in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes before joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
- –Confirm you have a valid form of payment in your account with current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
- –Resist the urge to refresh. Your page will automatically refresh when you enter the Smart Queue.
- –Keep an eye on the time! When it’s your turn, your spot will be held for 10 minutes to begin shopping.
- –Just like before, tickets are always based on availability, demand, and are not guaranteed.

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time
