Sam Fender is returning down under for a run of big outdoor shows
He's wowed us with his third album (and second Feature Album), People Watching , smashed back to back weekends at Coachella, knocked out a bunch of arena shows across the UK, Ireland, Europe and North America. Now he's ready to make his return down under.
This tour will be the first time Sam Fender has graced us with his presence since 2023 and his unreal set at Splendour In The Grass. He'll also be coming in hot after a run of sold-out stadiums in the UK, so you just know he'll be in fine form for us.
Sam won't be alone, either. The stunning Holly Humberstone will be joining him for each date on this late-spring whip.
He'll be kicking things off in Naarm/Melbourne on November 14, before heading up the coast and snaking his way westward to wrap it all up in Boorloo/Perth on November 28.
End of spring on outdoor stages with Sam Fender? Can't think of anything better to give us the big ramp into summer.
Tickets for Sam Fender's Australian tour are on sale from 12pm local time on Wednesday 21 May, with a cheeky couple of presales beforehand. Check out the tour's website for more information.
All the dates and details are below so you can lock it in well ahead of time.

The Block 2025 Episode 12 recap: Sonny cops a spray from Alicia, but the spray Britt gets from Taz is much worse
While Britt got sprayed with Taz's vomit after a night of drinking and cavorting by the fire, Sonny copped a very different sort of spray from wife Alicia. A frustrated Alicia broke down after discovering Britt had already pre-ordered the furniture she'd had her eye on. Having already been pipped at the post for a mirror and a vanity by other contestants, Alicia had a bad case of the poor me's. And so began a day of breakdowns. RELATED: How Daylesford is reaping rewards from The Block Block houses sell for less than they cost to build Block judge teases US expansion plans 'You're crying over a chair or a couch but right now this is your whole world,' she explained. 'So, these small things make a difference. If I was at home and couldn't get a chair, you'd be like 'oh well, no biggie'. But when you are in a competition and you want to do well, small things make a difference.' Her day went from bad to worse when she got back to site and saw Sonny had installed the towel rails at a level better suited to a set of monkey bars. 'You might as well hang the towels on the ceiling,' she ranted, knowing judge Shaynna Blaze would rake her over the coals for Sonny's slapdash decision. 'Sonny works so hard all week and then he gets to the point where he just wants to make a decision and just move on. And they're the decisions which cost us each week.' Furious that Sonny inferred her reaction was rude to other tradesmen on site, Alicia told her husband to leave her alone while she cooled off. 'The damage is done. I hope you find someone really nice and polite after this,' she hissed, implying he'd be in the market for a new spouse after auction day. Remarkably, Britt took being doused in vomit by her other half with far more good grace. Apart from hightailing it to Scott Cam's empty caravan to sleep without risk of a second drenching, Britt was non-plussed (even amused) by what had happened. Alicia was incredulous. 'I would kill you if you vomited on me!' Alicia warned Sonny. 'I hope she arrested him.' Taz blamed the fish he ate for dinner (and not the many, many fireside beers) for the incident. Gathering up the evidence of, umm, food poisoning, Taz stashed the soiled linen in his car, not realising that his crime was already the talk of the building site. Now, instead of being mocked for his lack of building lingo, he's being given stick for being sick. If Taz wasn't suffering enough, that arched shower door was also causing him headaches. As foreshadowed by foreman Dan on Monday, the custom glass door was not going to fit into the arched space. Under time pressure, the couple admitted defeat and elected to cut a rectangular hole for the door to sit inside instead. That came with its own problems as it involved having to re-waterproof the new void. Scotty was certain that it would be worth all the effort, declaring their bathroom the shoe-in for the win when he and Shelley Craft swung by for an inspection. The host was far less complimentary about Han and Can's handiwork. After giving Han some stick for her comeback (which saw her go from being at death's door to dirty dancing on a haybale) the Scotty and Shelley took in the girls' unique amber resin sinks. While Shelley was clearly impressed, a confused Scotty quipped: 'That looks like something you'd find salad in on the dinner table.' Later, once the girls were out of earshot, Scott confided that he wasn't impressed. 'I cannot see the vision of that bathroom. I can't see it working,' he grumbled as the ever-sunny Shelley tried to find silver linings. Certainly, the girls have some problems still to rectify before Sunday. Namely the brown VJ panelled walls which Can felt 'gave barnyard' more than bathroom. With all this going on, everyone – and I mean everyone, the contestants, their trades, foreman Dan, Shelley and even Alisa and Lysandra – were inexplicably called to HQ to take a 15 minute line dancing break. A more cynical viewer might think that it was a bit of filler. Or an excuse to shoehorn in another McCafe plug. But for pole-dancing champ, Emma, it was simply heaven sent. For Foreman Dan and a very hungover Taz, not so much. Let's just say, they shouldn't give up their day jobs. MISSED AN EPISODE?

‘Like a superpower': Nikita Tszyu reveals wild pre-fight diet consisting of placenta and breast milk
Nikita Tszyu's new pre-fight diet has raised more than a few eyebrows after the Aussie star revealed it includes capsulised placenta and breast milk. Tszyu and his wife, Nikita Bedwell, who married in secret in January, welcomed their first child together in June - named Curiosity after a NASA Mars rover. While the name is unique, so is the way Tszyu is preparing for his fight against Lulzim Ismaili on August 20. Tszyu told Triple M Breakfast on Wednesday that turning to capsulated placenta and breast milk has given him 'a crazy amount of energy' and joked he's 'technically become a cannibal.' 'So, for those who don't know, I just had a baby. And my wife … we freeze-dried her placenta and I've been supplementing on her placenta recently … in tablet form,' Tszyu said. 'I've technically become a cannibal. It's actually like a superpower.' Triple M's Aaron Woods chimed in: 'They reckon breast milk is the best thing you can have! It's so clean.' Tszyu replied: 'Yeah, and it's delicious as well!' Drinking breast milk rose in popularity on the back of weightlifters who claimed they gained extra muscle when switching from full cream to natural breast milk. However, no substantial research into the claim has ever been done. That's because, scientifically, it doesn't make sense. The idea of building muscle largely comes down to protein intake and targeted exercise. And if that is the marker, consuming breast milk instead of cow's milk makes zero sense. For example, 100g of breast milk contains around 1g of protein, compared to 3.1g of protein in full cream milk. The only areas where it is significantly higher are in sugars and fat. As for the placenta claim, Tszyu is just the latest to try a practice that is becoming increasingly common. Stars such as Hilary Duff and Kourtney Kardashian have consumed their placenta – either in liquid or capsule form – after having children. The placenta is a temporary organ, and its sole purpose is to provide the baby with nutrients during pregnancy. And in recent years, placenta tablets – which are pills created by drying and grinding up the placenta into a powder, then encapsulating it – have boomed in popularity. Research is, however, limited on its effectiveness, but the BBC reported in 2015 that there are no proven benefits to consuming it and if anything, it could be harmful. But for Tszyu, he says he feels the difference. 'I've done tests with my sparring – days where I've had it and days where I haven't – and it feels like I got all this crazy amount of energy,' he told Triple M. The science on its benefits is still unclear, but regardless, it's safe to say Tszyu isn't leaving any stone unturned as he looks to improve his record to 13-0 when he takes on Lulzim Ismaili on August 20.

Notoriously private Perth star shares rare baby pic
Tame Impala's Kevin Parker has offered fans a first glimpse of his newborn baby, with the Perth-raised music star and wife Sophie celebrating the recent arrival of their second child. The couple have not publicly revealed the child's name or gender. Marrying in 2019, Parker and Sophie welcomed their daughter Peach in 2021. Their wholesome news coincides with somewhat of a re-birth for Parker as an artist, with the Let It Happen hitmaker building up to the release of his fifth studio album under the Tame Impala moniker following his 2020 project The Slow Rush. In mid-July, the 39-year-old told fans he'd 'been busy' as he unveiled a heavily pregnant Sophie, alongside snapshots from his recent movements both in Europe and WA.

Credit: Kevin Parker/IG / IG Four weeks later, the multi-hyphenate musician has informed followers he'd 'been busy part 2' — dropping a follow-up photo dump with his tot in tow. Parker's newborn could be seen sleeping peacefully on his chest as he lay on the couch. Other images depicted the producer attending a Fremantle Dockers game, spinning the decks alongside Aussie producer Kito, and hijinks from his End of Summer music video shoot in Barcelona. The long-awaited July release could not have come soon enough for fans who had been patiently awaiting new Tame Impala music. Parker has written and produced alongside several mega stars, including Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Kanye West, and has been covered by Rihanna.

With deep roots in Perth, the singer-songwriter was a special guest at the June birthday bash of Fremantle Dockers captain Alex Pearce, held at Patio Bar. As the club's number one ticket holder, he is regularly spotted in the Freo rooms, and even produced a hype track for the club that is often played throughout Optus Stadium on game day.

However, some fans were less sentimental, and instead encouraged Parker to prioritise his musical endeavours. 'I will rearrange my entire schedule for tour dates,' one fan said. Another added, 'Just drop the album bro'. Parker released hugely popular album Currents in 2015, with his earlier Tame Impala projects Lonerism and Innerspeaker coming in 2012 and 2010 respectively. With more than 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his festival favourite The Less I Know The Better has racked up an impressive two billion streams on the platform.
