Geordie favourite Sam Fender has shared details of an upcoming tour of North America he’s headlining.
The North Shields born and raised singer-songwriter will kick-off a series of gigs in Toronto in July, two days after he plays the Lallapalooza music festival in Chicago. The news comes just days after it was revealed the double Brit award winner is one of six acts who will be supporting Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine on the US leg of her tour to promote her new album, Dance Fever, which comes out in May.
The latter tour will include a date at New York’s prestigious Madison Square Garden on September 16. It will be the second time in just over a month that Fender will have played New York – he finishes his own tour in the Big Apple on August 9 at the Irving Plaza before heading to Budapest in Hungary and Biddinghauzen in the Netherlands for two European dates.
