Live From Finsbury Park

Product Information

In March, his second album Seventeen Going Under earned him the title of Best Album In The World at the BandLab NME Awards 2022, while it is also in the running for the 2022 Mercury Prize later this month. We want to ensure our tickets go to real fans, please read the below to make sure that you can definitely get into the show! This one is about our hometown North Shields, and our friends who aren’t with us anymore,” Fender tells Finsbury Park. A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential. News of the live album comes as the lifelong Newcastle United fan has just announced a massive hometown stadium show at his beloved St.

The record will also be made available on streaming services, as well as part of a deluxe reissue of last October’s ‘Seventeen Going Under’, which was Fender’s second UK number one album. It may feel strange to hear this crowd singing along passionately to bleak lines such as “God the kid looks so sad” in Seventeen Going Under, but to paraphrase, a problem shared with 40,000 people is a problem greatly diminished. With a bracing “howay,” he fires the stadium into frenzied mosh pits with ‘Spice’ and ‘Howdon Aldi Death Queue’, Fender’s most chaotic live tracks made complete with pyrotechnics. Times Like These" did not enter the Netherlands' Single Top 100 but peaked on the Dutch Top 40 Tipparade at number 15. Tonight also proves Fender is ready to step into stadium tours — and with a third album seemingly imminent, fans may not be waiting long.As its first guitar chimes ripple over the crowd, the audience responds by setting off so many flares, the air in the park becomes thick with smoke and the scent of burning chemicals. There’s a brief pause as he regains his senses, taking his first ever stage selfie — “I feel like an influencer,” he giggles — before winding down with ‘Play God’ and ‘The Dying Light’, the latter of which he dedicates to everyone in attendance. This song went much further than we ever imagined it would do and that was all down to you so thank you so much,” Fender says by way of introduction for the penultimate, rousing version of ‘Seventeen Going Under’.

And the translucent red vinyl (a cherry colour that matches the red used on Fender's record releases) looks beautiful.It’s also his biggest headline show to date; a celebratory milestone that offers a chance to look back on just how far he’s come.

Hypersonic Missiles" did not enter the Mexico Airplay chart, but peaked at number 11 on the Mexico Ingles Airplay chart. The majority of tonight’s setlist is picked from the musician’s second album and, with just festival dates a few gigs supporting Florence + The Machine and some US shows left, the gig feels like the beginning of the end for that record’s campaign. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.

When Fender brings out his childhood guitar teacher to embrace on-stage, it looks like we’re in for a moment of sentiment — but then they’re joined by AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson, and half of Newcastle ruptures their vocal chords in disbelief. At Glastonbury this summer, my number one priority was to see Sam Fender performing his song Seventeen Going Under as the sun went down over the Pyramid Stage on Friday.

After a brief pause, the encore arrives with a soulful rendition of ‘Wild Grey Ocean’ and a late ‘Happy Birthday’ sing-along for bassist Tom Ungerer before the hits everyone’s been waiting for: St James’ Park belts out the high notes to ‘Saturday’ before Fender can sing a word; while the hook of ‘Seventeen Going Under’, which has been ringing through Newcastle for the last 48 hours, finally erupts in full force. To play St James’ Park has kinda always been a bit of a daft joke,” he explained, “ever since we started the band five years ago.

Tickets for the gig, which will see over 55,000 fans descend on the stadium, will go on general sale at 10am on Friday (September 9). Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.
