Sam Fender shares new single ‘I’m Always on Stage’

Sam Fender has released a new single, ‘I’m Always on Stage’, taken from the forthcoming deluxe version of People Watching, which arrives on 5th December through Polydor. The expanded edition includes eight extra tracks and will be available on CD and vinyl.

‘I’m Always on Stage’ first appeared on the vinyl-only Record Store Day EP Me and the Dog. All four songs from that release now form part of the deluxe album. Fender has already been performing the track on his recent US tour, and it is featuring heavily across his current run of Australian shows.

A new concert film titled Live at London Stadium also premiered online over the weekend. Captured in front of more than 80,000 fans last Summer, the film shows Fender at his most commanding. It includes the first live performance of ‘Rein Me In’ with Olivia Dean. Directed by Toby L and Kit Monteith and produced by Up The Game, the film documents a landmark moment for one of the country’s defining songwriters.

Fender closes out 2025 in Australia with three remaining dates.
