Sam Fender Announces Third LP ‘People Watching’

Sam Fender has announced details of his highly anticipated third album, People Watching. which is set to drop on 21st February 2025.

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. The album cover photograph was shot by the renowned social documentary photographer Tish Murtha, who grew up in South Shields and documented marginalised communities and working-class life in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Sam Fender’s observations on life as he experiences them have already taken him to headlining Summer festivals (Reading & Leeds, Boardmasters), selling out stadiums, and becoming a bonafide household name. With the instant sell-out of his UK arena tour next month Fender is taking another mighty leap forward into whatever comes next.
