Sam Fender will play two nights at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, on 15 and 17 July 2027, to close his ‘Proper Massive’ stadium tour, according to the Manchester Evening News and the singer's website.

The tour has nine shows across the UK and Ireland, plus a festival headline slot at Rock Werchter in Belgium, the MEN reported. It opens at St James' Park in Newcastle on 3 and 5 June 2027 and also visits Cardiff's Principality Stadium (10 June), Wembley Stadium in London (18 and 20 June), Marlay Park in Dublin (1 July) and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh (8 July). Wunderhorse are the support act on all UK dates.

How to get tickets: general sale starts on Friday 30 October at 9.30am through Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours and Sam Fender's website, the MEN reported. Fans who pre-ordered his upcoming album from his official store before 9am GMT on Monday 26 October get a code for a pre-sale from 9.30am on Wednesday 28 October. Codes are due to be emailed by 8pm on 27 October, and a code does not guarantee a ticket.

The Etihad shows will be his first in Manchester since his two nights at Co-op Live in December 2024 and an outdoor show at Wythenshawe Park in August 2025, the MEN noted.
