English singer-songwriter Sam Fender heads to Chicago this fall for a headline performance at Aragon Ballroom on Thursday, September 25, 2025. The show is part of his People Watching Tour, supporting his acclaimed third studio album of the same name.
People Watching, released on February 21, 2025 via Polydor Records, was co-produced with longtime collaborators (including Markus Dravs and Adam Granduciel). It’s an album built on vibrant storytelling and colorful portraits of everyday people that carry Fender deeper into the spotlight. The record shot to No. 1 in the UK and charted strongly across Europe. Its vinyl sales broke records becoming the fastest-selling vinyl album by a British act in the 21st century.
Fender has already carved out a reputation for sweeping live energy, like festival stages, sold-out UK stadiums, and a growing U.S. audience. Award-wise, he added another BRIT Award earlier this year, becoming a two-time winner in the Rock/Alternative category.
Don’t miss this chance to catch Fender’s latest album live in Chicago. Compared to the stadiums Fender plays in Europe, Aragon’s five-thousand capacity venue provides American fans the chance to see him in a much more intimate venue. Sam Fender hits Aragon Ballroom on Thursday, September 25. Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster.com.
