Winner of the Critics Choice Award at the Brit Awards and named in the BBC’s Sound of 2018 list before even releasing an album, Sam Fender has enjoyed a speedy journey to music stardom.

His debut Hypersonic Milles were straight to number one, as did his sophomore effort Seventeen Going Under, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.

He’s become known for his electric live performances, which saw him bag a headline slot at the TRNSMT music festival in 2023.
