Sam recently shared his new single, Arm’s Length, a song that received a huge reaction from his fans on the sold-out UK/Ireland arena tour in late 2024. 

Now solidified as one of Britain’s most accomplished songwriters of his generation and the next, if Seventeen Going Under was Sam’s “coming of age” record, People Watching is his next step forward – colourful stories and observations of everyday characters living their everyday, but often extraordinary, lives.

Sam now gears up for a sold-out tour of Europe in March, ahead of a Spring US tour. 

Sam’s trio of shows at Newcastle’s St James’ Park are now sold out, with his biggest headline show to date at London Stadium down to its remaining tickets. £1 from every ticket sold on the Stadium run will be donated to select cultural organisations such as Youth Music and Sunday for Sammy to support the arts in the North East of England.

Last month, Sam was nominated for ‘Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best Alternative/Rock Act’ at the BRIT Awards 2025 on 1^st March.
