Sam Fender announces 2025 People Watching Australian tour supported by Holly Humberstone
English singer-songwriter Sam Fender has announced he will be coming to Australia later this year bringing with him popular tunes that have taken hold across the globe.
Described as one of Britain's most gifted songwriters of his generation, the 31-year-old will kick off his tour in Melbourne on November 14 before going on a run across the country and finishing up in Perth.
He will play at Kings Park and Botanic Garden on November 28.
For all the outdoor shows, he will be joined by Holly Humberstone, who returns to Australia after several sold-out shows last year.
The duo first joined forces on an acoustic rendition of Fender's hit Seventeen Going Under, before reuniting for Fender's homecoming shows at St. James' Park.
The tour comes after his sold-out, career-defining headline shows in 2022 and 2023 and will celebrate his third studio album People Watching, which debuted at number one in the UK.
The album, which landed him his third BRIT Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act, was also named triple j's Feature Album, further solidifying his cross-continental impact.
The title track has already become a fan favourite, alongside the powerful single Arm's Length, which lit up his recent UK/Ireland arena tour.
He has also just released Tyrants from his Record Store Day-exclusive EP Me and the Dog on streaming platforms.
Tickets go on sale next Wednesday at 12pm via

Aussie Matt Dufty bans mum from Challenge Cup Final
Warrington full-back Matt Dufty has banned his mum from this weekend's Challenge Cup final at Wembley because she has never seen him win. Dufty's dad Glenn is planning to jet in from Australia in the hope of watching his son lift major silverware for the first time, but mum Leonie is under strict instructions to stay at home. "My mum hasn't seen me win yet," laughed Dufty. "She's come over and watched me seven times and we've lost all seven. So she's not allowed to come this week." The 29-year-old Dufty, who joined the Wolves midway through the 2022 season, has emerged as an increasingly important component in a side whose spine has been ravaged by injuries during this campaign. He was coached by his dad from an early age and earned rave reviews in the NRL, but is still missing the major trophy that he believes will make all his family's early sacrifices worthwhile. "My dad's coming over for the game because he didn't get the opportunity to come and watch me play last year," added Dufty. "He's been a big part of my rugby league journey and he came out to watch me play in Las Vegas earlier this year, but he hasn't seen me lift anything professionally. "So if I could get some silverware whilst he's watching I think it would be special for me and for our family." Despite scoring his side's opening try, Dufty endured a final to forget last season when he was sin-binned after just five minutes and Warrington never fully recovered as they slid to an 18-8 defeat to Wigan. But he has continued to emerge as one of Super League's star playmakers this season, assuming extra responsibility during long injury lay-offs for the likes of captain George Williams and hooker Danny Walker. "It's been a bit of a different year and while I probably haven't had the same impact on the team, I feel like I've grown into a different role," added Dufty, who played for St George Illawarra and Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL. "For me it's been about learning and growing as a player and doing what's best for the team. I've learned a lot about myself as a player and a leader." Having started in the game at the age of four after he was rejected for a soccer camp, Dufty grew up as a keen scholar of the game on both sides of the world, and can think of few better scenarios than capping his career with a Challenge Cup winners' medal. "It was always something we watched back home," added Dufty. "Then when you come over you realise how important the Challenge Cup is to English culture and how much prestige is behind it. "Last year I got to experience it first-hand and it wasn't the way we wanted it, but we've got another chance two years in a row and the experience we gained from 2024 is going to be massive for us."

Karate Kid: Legends star Jackie Chan learnt English through country music
Jackie Chan learnt English through country music. The 71-year-old actor - who grew up in Hong Kong and whose native language is Cantonese - found it easier to follow the lyrics of the genre because the songs are typically fairly "slow". During an appearance on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' on Tuesday (03.06.25), he said: "I learn English in country songs because country songs [are] slow." Jackie then went on to sing the chorus from 'Always on My Mind' by Willie Nelson, which sparked cheers from the audience and thrilled the host. Kelly exclaimed: "I just got serenaded by Jackie Chan! "That's how I'm going to take this day away." In 1998's 'Rush Hour', Jackie was famously asked by co-star Chris Tucker: 'Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" And the 'Karate Kid: Legends' star admitted he didn't have "a clue" what his castmate was saying throughout the film. He said: 'The whole movie, I don't know what Chris Tucker's saying. Not a clue.' Jackie admitted his dialogue was "different" in "every shot" because of his struggles to get to grips with what was being said. He said: 'My dialogue coach sits right behind the camera. Every scene, every shot, different dialogue. "Every shot [was] different. Every time I just watched behind [the camera], the dialogue coach [went], 'Your turn. OK, let's go.'" Kelly asked the 'Ride On' actor if there was an "improv moment" when he did not understand what a fellow 'Rush Hour' cast member or crew member was saying, and he admitted there were many. Jackie said: "Yes! "The worst thing [was when they said], 'Cut. Take a rest. Jackie... [then something quickly]' "Then [I] turned around and said to my dialogue coach, 'What did he say?' [They] speak so fast!" In his latest movie 'Karate Kid: Legends', Jackie returns as Mr. Han and mentors his young nephew Li (Ben Wang) in martial arts after he is subject to bullying at school in New York City, and the screen legend admitted he did not need any training because he has learnt fight choreography since the 1960s. Jackie - who joined the 'Karate Kid' franchise in 2010 alongside Jaden Smith - said: 'I don't need to anymore. I've been training every day for 64 years. I've been fighting, fighting, fighting.'
