Football fans are in for a World Cup extravaganza as two big venues in the city announce plans to host fan zones bringing all the England action to the big screen.
Central Park, the outdoor beer garden in Times Square, and NX Newcastle - the city's newest music venue - have both announced they will host a World Cup fan zone to screen the upcoming games live from Qatar alongside various other attractions including special guests and drinks packages.
NX Newcastle, just opened in the former home of 02 Academy, has revealed plans for a 1,500-capacity England World Cup fan zone which will bring football fans all the team's live action on what it claims will be the biggest indoor screen in the city. Tickets for the events go on sale this Wednesday at 12pm.
