On 15 October 2024, Fender launched a countdown clock on his website, teasing a major announcement. [1] [2] The following day, a portion of the tour poster, displaying only Fender's eyes, was revealed at major venues across the UK. [3] On 18 October, the tour dates were announced, marking Fender's first UK tour since 2022 and including European dates in 2025. Due to high demand, tickets for the show were made available via a ballot for residents of Northeast England. Tickets went on sale on 25 Octobe, with £1 from each ticket sold for the UK dates being donated to the Music Venue Trust, an organization that supported independent music venues. [4] Fender also headlined BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend on 24 May 2025 at Sefton Park in Liverpool. [5]
