Now solidified as one of Britainâs most accomplished songwriters of his generation, if âSeventeen Going Underâ was Samâs "coming of age" record, then âPeople Watchingâ is his next step forward. The singer recently shared his new single, Armâs Length, and heâs also gearing up for a sold-out tour of Europe in March, ahead of a spring tour of the United States.
The newly announced outdoor gig at Wythenshawe Park follows a series of headline shows already confirmed by the artist. Sam is scheduled to play London Stadium on June 6, before two dates at St. Jamesâ Park in Newcastle on 12 and 14 June.
It will be the third and fourth time the North Shields musician has performed in his home city stadium, having sold-out two nights back in 2023. He will overtake The Rolling Stones who have performed at St Jamesâ Park on three previous occasions.
His Wythenshawe Park gig this August follows a string of successful concerts at the venue over the last two years. Last summer saw a double-header weekend with Blossoms and New Order both taking to the stage last August, while the year before, Noel Gallagher paved the way with his iconic 2023 performance.
