The tour's announcement comes before Fender releases his first planned album, "Hypersonic Missiles", on August 9, following his first EP, last year.
Speaking to NME, Fender had already explained how the title song had been influenced by his love for Bruce Springsteen.
"I fooled myself on him. My brother bought us "Born To Run" when I was 14 or 15 and it really changed my world, "Fender explained.
"At first, this somewhat exaggerated production left me a little puzzled, but the words were so good. Lyrically, 'Born To Run' is one of the best albums and it changed my world when I heard it.
"I had never heard such cool rock music, even though this album was released in 1975. I've also always wanted to make this production of Phil Spector and add a saxophone to it."
He added, "I would say it's a nod to Bruce Springsteen, although my publisher tells me it's a whim."
He will support Mumford & Sons at All Points East in London in June. Visit here for tickets and more information.
