Sam Fender delighted fans with news of a new live album on Monday, just as his gig at St James' Park looks set to spark a ticket meltdown.
After speculation that it might be on the horizon, North Shields' own music megastar Sam confirmed on Friday that he and his band will be playing on the pitch at Newcastle United 's famous ground on Friday, June 9 2023, with the announcement setting social media on fire.
Revealing all in a video soundtracked by Geordie anthem Local Hero, Sam said: "It's a childhood dream come true. I always joked that one day we might play St James' Park in Newcastle, the biggest stadium in the north east, 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."
