Product Information

For Seventeen Going Under: "Official Scottish Albums Chart Top 100: 15 October 2021 – 21 October 2021". All that began to change when he started releasing his music officially – at first independently and, later, via Polydor – his authentic storytelling resonating with listeners who’d experienced the small town life he sang about or had faced similar hardships and circumstances. did not enter the Netherlands' Single Top 100 but peaked on the Netherlands' Airplay Chart at number 43. For Live from Finsbury Park: "Official Scottish Albums Chart Top 100: 16 December 2022 - 22 December 2022".

This one is about our hometown North Shields, and our friends who aren’t with us anymore,” Fender tells Finsbury Park.

Not that the 28-year-old from North Shields has been short of special memories during his rapid rise to become one of Britain’s biggest guitar acts. Speaking to Rolling Stone U K about the gig, he claimed that he’ll be the first Geordie artist to headline there: such luminaries as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have done so previously. It’s a blistering finale that wraps things up perfectly and seemingly foreshadows Fender’s next steps, primed to level up from this huge moment to something utterly stratospheric. A Brits Critics’ Choice award anointing him as music’s next big thing in 2019 was followed by the prize for British Rock/Alternative Act this year. He pauses as the crowd laughs in response, self-awareness suddenly hitting: “That’ll be in a review tomorrow.

London, thank youse so much, this has been fucking magic,” Fender enthuses afterwards, before he and his band rip into ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ and flames shoot from the stage, fireworks rocket into the sky and confetti explodes over the front rows. It may feel strange to hear this crowd singing along passionately to bleak lines such as “God the kid looks so sad” in Seventeen Going Under, but to paraphrase, a problem shared with 40,000 people is a problem greatly diminished.

Hypersonic Missiles" did not enter the Mexico Airplay chart, but peaked at number 11 on the Mexico Ingles Airplay chart.

If this is Fender’s lap of honour, then it’s one that lifts up not just the big singles and anthemic songs in his catalogue, but the deeper cuts too. Tonight’s gig largely lives up to its billing in Fender’s story, but there are moments that bring it down slightly. Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since.The majority of tonight’s setlist is picked from the musician’s second album and, with just festival dates a few gigs supporting Florence + The Machine and some US shows left, the gig feels like the beginning of the end for that record’s campaign. For Hypersonic Missiles: "Official Scottish Albums Chart Top 100: 20 September 2019 – 26 September 2019". The album includes the singles " Play God", "Leave Fast", "Dead Boys", " That Sound", " Hypersonic Missiles", " Will We Talk? Part of Fender’s appeal is his unflinching honesty and relatability, and he highlights that once again on this stage tonight. To share this day with all the people I look up to and to play on this stage with all my mates, it’s the best job in the world,” he says sincerely.
