In March 2025, Sam will then be travelling to Europe for nine gigs in France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands. 

Tickets go on general sale on October 25 at 10am, with fans only limited to buy four tickets each.

A ballet for tickets to his Newcastle gigs is currently open and will close on Monday 21.

Sam has released two albums: Hypersonic Missiles in 2019 and Seventeen Going Under in 2021. 

Not long after the release of Seventeen Going Under, Sam was forced to cancel a number of US headline gigs to focus on his mental health.

He said at the time: ‘It seems completely hypocritical of me to advocate discussion on mental health and write songs about it if I don’t take the time to look after my own mental health.

‘I’ve neglected myself for over a year now and haven’t dealt with things that have deeply affected me.

‘It’s impossible to do this work on myself while on the road, and it’s exhausting feigning happiness and wellness for the sake of business.’

Sam, who is known to perform even for free, told Twitter and Instagram he was ‘eternally overwhelmed by the love and support of our fans’ and was upset to let them down.

Among the flood of support in his comments section was a message from Gwyneth Paltrow, who said: ‘This is beautiful. We (heart emoji) you. Look after yourself.’ 

The North Shields artist previously said the name second album Seventeen Going Under was influenced by his mental health struggles and his therapy sessions.

On social media he added: ‘The state of my wellbeing is starting to affect everything I do, including my performances (and) I refuse to go out there and not give it my all EVERY time, as you all deserve nothing less’.
