Sam Fender is back with his highly anticipated third album, People Watching, out today via Capitol Records. Hot on the heels of his 2021 chart-topping Seventeen Going Under, the new record has already earned widespread critical acclaim, proving once again why Fender is one of Britain’s most exciting and authentic songwriters.
If Seventeen Going Under was his coming-of-age moment, People Watching is his next big leap—an album bursting with colorful stories, sharp observations, and characters that feel as real as your next-door neighbor. Fender captures everyday life's raw emotions and complexities, turning the ordinary into something cinematic. With his signature mix of heart, grit, and soaring melodies, People Watching showcases his evolution as an artist while staying true to the sound that fans love.
To celebrate the release, he’s hitting the road across North America beginning on April 5 at Vancouver’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
