Taking his new album on the road, Fender is set to perform at multiple venues this summer, but many UK dates have already sold out.
Much to the delight of fans, he has announced a string of new outdoor shows, and you have time to get saving. The first of the new shows will be held in Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August 16.
He’ll then head up to the Royal Highland Showgrounds in Edinburgh for a gig on August 22. A week later, Fender will headline the VITAL Festival at Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast.
The news comes after Fender was forced to postpone the final leg of his UK arena tour last year, due to damaging his vocal cords. In a statement, the singer said: “This has been the best tour so far and all I want to do is get up and sing again for you all tonight.”

If you register your interest or pre-order Fender’s new album before Monday, 17 February, then you will be given presale access at 11am on Tuesday, 18 February for all three outdoor shows. All remaining tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Friday, 21 February. You’ll be able to bag tickets via See Tickets and Ticketmaster.
