Watch Olivia Dean join Sam Fender to perform 'Rein Me In' at his biggest headline show to date at London Stadium
Sam Fender was joined by Olivia Dean to perform âRein Me Inâ at his biggest ever headline show. Check out the moment below.
The BRIT Award winner played his first night at the 75,000-capacity London Stadium last night (June 6) as he kicked off his huge UK summer stadium tour. As well as being his biggest show so far, it was also his first stadium headline date outside of his hometown of Newcastle.

To mark the occasion, Fender brought out support act Dean for a rendition of âRein Me Inâ, from his latest album âPeople Watchingâ, marking the first time the two singers have collaborated on stage.
Later in the show, Fender was also joined by the Easington Colliery Brass Band, who appeared on âPeople Watchingâ track âRemember My Nameâ, to perform the track live for the first time. Upon the albumâs release, the band revealed that theyâd kept their contribution a secret for two years.
Check out both moments below.

Fender is set to play three huge shows in Newcastle at St Jamesâ park later this month, and in August heâll play three big outdoor gigs in Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast, as well as top the bill at Irelandâs Electric Picnic.

In a four-star review of âPeople Watchingâ, Tilly Foulkes wrote for NME: âReflective, analytical and vulnerable, âPeople Watchingâ does exactly what the title may suggest: takes stock of the characters, friends and loved ones who have made Fender the person he is today. He approaches each track with sensitivity as he looks back on his life so far â perhaps even with an inkling of guilt â and contemplates who he may be next.â

Although Fender dropped âPeople Watchingâ less than three months ago, he has hinted that he already has new music in the works and is âdesperateâ to lean into more of a punk-inspired sound.
There hasnât been any official announcement of another album yet, but last month did see the release of fan favourite track âTyrantsâ for the first time. The song had previously only been available as part of the âMe And The Dogâ vinyl EP and on the seven-inch edition of 2024 single âPeople Watchingâ.
Most recently, Fender teamed up with Adolescence actor Owen Cooper for a moving video for âLittle Bit Closerâ. It also sees the âSeventeen Going Underâ singer reunite with Adolescence director Philip Barantini. The two worked together four years ago for the music video for 2021âs âSpit Of Youâ, and the project also included the seriesâ co-writer and actor Stephen Graham.
In other news, fans are speculating that Fender might make a surprise appearance at Glastonbury later this month.
