Sam Fender issues Glastonbury message to fans as he gears up for debut at world famous festival

Sam Fender has given fans a clear message as he prepares to take the stage at Glastonbury for the very first time.

North Shields musician Sam was due to make his debut appearance at the world famous festival back in 2019, before he'd even released is debut album Hypersonic Missiles, but was already creating a huge buzz with the album's title track and other songs like Will We Talk and Play God.

Sadly for Sam, he had to pull out his performance due to illness and then, like many other acts, his Glasto hopes were dashed due to the coronavirus pandemic but, on Friday night and after an already hugely successful year, Sam and his band will play to a massive crowd on Glastonbury' s famous Pyramid stage. Sam joins a stellar line-up for the event's 2022 comeback, with acts like Diana Ross, Pet Shop Boys, Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish all lined up to perform.

As he headed down to Worthy Farm for the life-changing moment, Sam took to Instagram to confirm when he'll be on and add a message for fans who'll be there to see him, writing: I’ve always wanted to go to @glastofest and always dreamed of playing the pyramid stage as a young lad. Tomorrow, I’ll do both.

"See you down the front at 8.15pm."

Returning to social media to share a photo of himself next to him timeslot, Sam wrote: "Here we f**king go!"

Sam's 2022 has been amazing so far, with big wins at the Brits and NME Awards, sold out gigs across the world, including two capacity back to back gigs on home turf at Newcastle's Utliita Arena, a charity concert at the City Hall which raised over £130,000 and the announcement of an American tour.
