Sam Fender has sprung a huge surprise on his fans in Newcastle with special edition albums in recognition of his highly anticipated gigs at St James' Park this weekend.
After months and months of counting down to the epic shows, it is now time for over 100,000 fans to flock to NUFC's famous ground to see Sam and his band in action on what will be career defining moments in their careers to date. When tickets for the concerts when on sale in the autumn, the demand for tickets caused a near meltdown on Ticketmaster, as people clamoured to get their hands on one.
While Sam's support acts have been confirmed for a while, as have the St James' Park stage times, there is some mystery surrounding Sam's setlist, given his hasn't performed a full headline show in months. And something else which has really sparked fans in Newcastle's curiosity over the last few days are the billboards that went up close to the stadium on Wednesday.
