Sam Fender prompts St James' Park plea with Instagram message to fans

Sam Fender has sparked a massive demand from his fans, after telling them he'd been 'blown away' by the love he'd had in the aftermath of his unforgettable gigs at St James' Park. And the verdict is that he needs to play the stadium again, or even make it an annual event.

Its now been three weeks since the North Shields rocker and local hero packed out Newcastle United's famous ground two nights in a row, as over 100,000 flocked to see him, creating an incredible atmosphere in the process. Given the crazy demand for tickets for the shows, when they went on sale back in the autumn, they were always going to be something special but, after the whole city got gripped by Fender Fever, Sam's St James' gigs became way more than just that.

As well as been treating to Sam anthems like Will We Talk, Hypersonic Missiles, Saturday and Seventeen Going Under and witnessing a star turn from Sam's brother Liam; those who were at the show on Saturday, June 10 , got the added bonus of star guest Brian Johnson, as the AC/Dc joined Sam and his band for renditions of Highway to Hell and You Shook Me Night Long.
