Sam Fender fans are now counting the hours to the much loved local icon's massive shows in Newcastle this weekend and St James' Park have given a specific warning for those with standing tickets to get to the ground in good time, as increased security measures will be in place.
No sooner had tickets for Sam's first St James' gig gone on sale, a second was added after huge demand for tickets. And now the 100,000 plus people lucky enough to bag themselves the hottest ticket of the year on Tyneside are chomping at the bit to get inside the stadium to see Sam and his band make, what is sure to be, a triumphant return to home turf.
Sam will perform at St James' Park on both Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10, with his first night coinciding with this year's Blaydon Race and the second on the same day that Pink plays the first of two concerts in Sunderland.
