Sam Fender celebrates St James' gigs with his mam and gran after epic Newcastle weekend

Sam Fender had a well deserved night out on home turf with his mam and gran on Monday, after an incredible weekend that he'll never forget with his two sold out gigs at St James' Park.

The whole of Newcastle was in the grip of Fender Fever on both Friday and Saturday, as the Hypersonic Missiles star fired on all cylinders for two empathic shows at the stadium, attracting a combined crowd over over 100,000 people. Sam's St James gigs gave the whole city two unforgettable days and nights, with the city a thriving sea of black and white as Toon tops, bucket hats and flags were seen on every corner.

Stars like Ant and Dec, Vicky Pattison, Callum Wilson and Dan Burn flocked to see Sam at SJP, with Ant and Dec seen singing Seventeen Going Under in the stands, while NUFC legend Shearer telling Sam he was "f**king awesome."
