The singer-songwriter is heading out on the road next summer for his ‘Proper Massive Stadium Tour’. He’ll kick off the trek with two huge homecoming concerts at St James’ Park in Newcastle on June 3 and 5.

From there, Fender will take to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, London’s Wembley Stadium, Dublin’s Marlay Park, Edinburgh’s Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, and Manchester’s Etihad Stadium.

Os ingressos estarão à venda geral às 9h30 GMT na próxima sexta-feira (30 de outubro) – você poderá comprar o seu aqui. Alternativamente, os fãs podem acessar uma pré‑venda no mesmo horário na quarta‑feira (28 de outubro) ao pré‑encomendar o quarto álbum da Fender ainda não anunciado antes das 9h GMT na segunda‑feira (26 de outubro) – você pode fazer isso aqui.

Following the forthcoming dates being announced, fans have been sharing their thoughts on the pricing levels of the tickets. Standing tickets for Newcastle were reported to cost £98.

60, with seating ranging from £86. 50 to £112. 90.

Wembley was said to be priced at £130. 75 for front standing, £98. 85 for general standing, and seating being between £64. 75 and £130. 75.

Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester are also reportedly being separated into two standing sections. The front area at every venue is listed as being around £120 to £130.

Fender respondeu desde então na seção de comentários, escrevendo: “Não estou satisfeito com esses preços, eles estão sendo alterados.”.

He continued: “It got inflated well more than I’d had in mind, it should only be inflated in relation to the cost of putting the show on.”.

The ‘People Watching’ musician went on to criticise the concept of standing sections being separated into “front” and “general” areas at big shows.

It is not yet known when the updated pricing for Fender’s ‘Proper Massive Stadium Tour’ will be published. For comparison, tickets for his previous stadium shows in 2025 ranged between £65 and £88 (via Time Out).

No último novembro, a Fender estava entre os principais artistas que pediram ao governo do UK que cumprisse sua promessa anterior de colocar um limite nos preços de ingressos secundários, junto com artistas como Radiohead, Dua Lipa, Coldplay e Robert Smith, do The Cure.

Elsewhere, funds raised from the singer’s previous arena tour helped support 38 grassroots music venues across the UK. He adopted a £1 ticket levy for the shows to aid in the survival of such live establishments.

Este ano viu Fender vencer o prêmio Songwriter Of The Year no Ivor Novellos, conquistar o prêmio Song Of The Year nos BRITs e quebrar o recorde da canção número um mais longa da história do Reino Unido com seu dueto com Olivia Dean, ‘Rein Me In’.

He won last year’s Mercury Prize for his third and most recent album, ‘People Watching’. Fender donated his £25,000 winnings to the Music Venue Trust (MVT), saying: “These venues are legendary, but they are struggling.”.

Details about his fourth album remain scarce – including the title and release date – but he hinted that new music would be coming soon last year.
