In Pictures: Sam Fender @ St. James' Park, Newcastle
Sam Fender played the first of two sold-out nights at St. James' Park stadium in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK on June 9th. We'll have a full live report over the weekend, but for now, here's the best of Thomas Jackson's photos.
As is tradition, the show opened with a rendition of Local Hero, led by Johnny 'Bluehat' Davis on saxophone (centre).
Fender was clearly delighted to take to the stage in the home of his beloved Newcastle United.
Dean Thompson found it hard to hide his excitement throughout the show.
Will We Talk prompted the first mass singalong of the evening.
