Geordie Singer-songwriter Sam Fender has been announced as a headliner for this summer’s Belfast Vital Festival in Belfast’s Boucher Road Playing Fields.
Nominated for Artist of the Year and Best Alternative/Rock Act at the BRIT Awards 2025 on 1st March, tickets for his gig are sure to be in huge demand.
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, his upcoming album People Watching is his next step forward.
Released on February 21 through Polydor Records, Sam is looking forward to fans hearing his third album.
“Me and the band have picked away at these songs for the last couple of years, we recorded so much material in that time and deliberated long and hard over what came next. We settled on this collection for our next outing. Special thanks to Dean and Joe who have been with me every step of the way, they are incredible producers in their own right and I’m eternally proud and grateful for them both.
“The band has really evolved in this time, I’m a lucky fucker to be surrounded by such a talented bunch.”
Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, known professionally as CMAT, will provide support in Belfast.
General tickets go on sale for Sam Fender at VITAL on Friday 21st February at 10am from Ticketmaster.
