Sam Fender has recalled a rather terrifying moment of needing to be saved from a 'burning tent' at Leeds Festival, as he shared the news that he will be headlining the event next year.
As we near the end of what has been an amazing 12 months for the North Shields star, Sam has been confirmed to be topping the bill at Leeds and Reading next year, joining the likes of The Killers, Billie Eilish and mate Lewis Capaldi on the bill for the long-running summer event, which takes over two different locations every year.
Sam chose to relive a memory of attending Leeds as a fan as he broke the news to his growing fanbase on social media and it sounds like he's lucky to still be here to tell the tale. Above the line-up poster, the Seventeen Going Under singer wrote: "I first went to Leeds festival 10 years ago as a teenager, me and Deano spent the entire week launching hot dogs out of a gazebo pole at random crowds of lads chanting ‘Yorkshire Yorkshire’."
