Fender’s ability to craft compelling stories and songs that touch the soul while tugging at the heartstrings is evident in his work. Rolling Stone UK hails him as a master storyteller whose songs have the power to uplift and then subtly pierce the heart. DIY Magazine and the Daily Star also heap praise on Fender, recognizing him as one of the greatest songwriters of our time and dubbing him the “people’s champion,” respectively.
Tickets for Fender’s Australian tour are in high demand, with the pre-sale for his Melbourne show selling out in record time. Due to popular demand, a second Melbourne show has been added and will be available for purchase starting at midday today. Fans are encouraged to act quickly as tickets for all other Australian shows are also selling rapidly, underscoring the widespread excitement surrounding his tour.
Fender will be accompanied by the celebrated singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, who is making a return to Australia after a successful, sold-out run of shows in 2024. The duo previously collaborated on an acoustic version of Fender’s hit song ‘Seventeen Going Under,’ followed by a memorable joint performance at St. James’ Park.
Fresh off the success of his third studio album, “People Watching,” which debuted at the top spot in the UK and was the fastest-selling UK album of the year, Fender has solidified his position as a prominent figure in modern rock. The album garnered him his third BRIT Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act and was selected as triple j’s Feature Album, underscoring his widespread influence.
Following an electrifying performance at Coachella and a series of sold-out arena shows across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America, Fender is now set to bring his largest ever outdoor headline shows to Australia. The highly anticipated tour follows his headline appearance at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025 and the sell-out of four massive stadium dates in the UK.
Known as one of the most talented songwriters of his generation, Fender’s latest album, “People Watching,” delves into themes of everyday life with insightful observations and quiet resilience, painting a picture of both intimacy and expansiveness. Tracks like the album’s eponymous title track and the powerful ‘Arm’s Length’ have resonated deeply with fans. Responding to overwhelming demand, Fender has also released ‘Tyrants’ from his Record Store Day-exclusive EP “Me and the Dog” on streaming platforms.
With a successful Coachella performance under his belt and a string of sold-out shows across various continents, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Fender. Now, fans in Australia have the opportunity to experience his iconic performances as part of his highly anticipated tour.
