Returning after leaving us all in his wake last year, English boy-genius SAM FENDER will take in sideshows in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland on the eve of the release of his much- anticipated debut record. Winner of a 2019 BRIT Award, Sam takes his lyrical cues from the likes of Billy Bragg and Paul Weller while his musical brush streaks the canvas of fellow Splendour alumni Foals and Warpaint. His searing honesty is evident in key track Dead Boys.
