Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer and co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi have reacted to the announcement that boyhood Magpies fan Sam Fender will be playing at St James' Park next year.
Fender will be playing a gig at Newcastle's home stadium on Friday, June 9, 2023. The singer-songwriter attended his first game at St James' Park as a six-year-old and will now be playing at the ground. He will become the first Geordie to headline the venue.
He tweeted: "I always joked that one day we might play St James' Park in Newcastle, and now we're actually gonna play it on the 9th June next year. It's gonna be such a special moment and I hope you all join us for it. Tickets on sale next Friday 9th Sept, presale info below."
