Having just completed two huge sold-out shows at London’s Alexandra Palace, Sam Fender now talks about life on the road in a new On Tour video, presented by menswear specialists scotts.  

Filmed at his recent gigs at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, Sam is quizzed by members of his live band about every aspect of the touring experience, spanning everything from pre-gig rituals to returning to live shows after lockdown. 

Asked about his live highlights of 2021, Sam commented, “I mean, there’s so many! Sharing a stage with Elton John, playing to 50,000 people at Reading and Leeds, and playing to 50,000 at Boardmasters. Just playing these ridiculously big shows.” 

He also reflects on the experience of making his recent second album ‘Seventeen Going Under’, which like his debut, shot straight to #1. He credits the camaraderie of working with his friends and bandmates as a high point of the process. 

Check out the behind-the-scenes and performance footage, plus Sam and his band wear the Barbour International x Sam Fender autumn/winter 2021 which was personally designed by Sam and available exclusively from Scotts.
