Win Tickets To See Sam Fender
Sam Fender is coming to the Union on April 23rd!
Listen all week at 7 pm with MJ for your chance to win a pair of tickets!
If Sam Fender’s debut album, 2019’s Hypersonic Missiles, introduced a smart, streetwise young British songwriter with a penchant for euphoric, hard-hitting guitar anthems, it was 2021’s peerless Seventeen Going Under that sent the Newcastle artist stratospheric.
An acute observer who turns the mirror not only on the streets that he grew up walking, but to himself too, the record was a tough-talking but tender account of Fender’s childhood and finding his feet in the North-East of England. It’s also a classic coming-of-age story, marrying relatable family themes and broken friendships with colossal choruses.
The album’s subsequent success took Fender across the globe, playing to bigger rooms and wider stages. And having been invited to support the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, and Neil Young, Sam has since become not only an effortless festival headliner in his own right, but a stadium one as well.
Seventeen Going Under reaped a clutch of awards, including BRITs, NMEs, an Ivor Novello, and a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination too.
In February 2025, Sam Fender releases his third album, People Watching. 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.
