Nexus preparing for 'unprecedented challenge' as P!nk announced stadium gig the same day as Sam Fender

Metro services are preparing for what has been described as an “unprecedented challenge” as P!nk revealed she will play a gig at the Stadium of Light on the same night Sam Fender plays at St James’ Park.

Friday, June 10 is shaping up to be a huge night of music in the North East, with superstars taking to the stage in Newcastle and Sunderland. And while gig-goers are set for the time of their lives, they could be facing an absolute nightmare when travelling home.

The two stadiums can hold more than 100,000 people combined, prompting Tyne and Wear Metro to draw up special plans to get people home once the shows finish.
