The 30-year-old released his debut album Hypersonic Missiles in 2019, with the album going straight to number one.
Fender grew up partly in the Scottish Borders, with songs such as 'The Borders' and 'Angel In Lothian' evoking what he calls his secondary home.
Second album Seventeen Going Under was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2022 having been named album of the year for 2021 by the NME as well as being named on the year-end lists of the Guardian and the Independent.
Sam Fender's new album is available to pre-order here. Tickets will be available from his website on October 25.
