Sam Fender at St James' Park weekend is finally here and Newcastle is ready for one big party across Friday and Saturday. And, with that in mind, fast drink kiosks have been installed inside the ground to help with congestion.
After all tickets were snapped in no time back in September, the time has finally come for Sam and his band to have the homecomings of all homecomings as they play on NUFC's pitch, with a crowd well in excess of 100,000 expected to pack out the stadium over the course of the two shows.
Sam's St James' Park gigs will be among the biggest events in the city this year, with Sam's support acts including Brit star Holly Humberstone and some local acts to get the crowd warmed up. Stage timings for St James' Park have been updated and there is also some specific advice for standing ticket holders, with an increased security presence expected.
