Sam Fender to support Bruce Springsteen in Italy: “What the f**k is going on?”

Sam Fender is set to support his hero Bruce Springsteen at two shows in Italy next summer.

The Boss is heading out on tour across Europe with The E Street Band next summer, and will be supported by Fender – himself nicknamed the ‘Geordie Springsteen’ – at two shows in Ferrara and Rome in May.

“I’m thinking about the moment [Springsteen’s] music first resonated with me when I was a teenager!” the singer wrote on Twitter

“Next year I’m opening up for him in Italy. What the f**k is going on?”

Fender will play alongside Springsteen at the Parco Urbano G. Bassani in Ferrari on May 18 and again at Rome’s Circo Massimo on May 21.
