It will also be the third and fourth time the North Shields musician has performed in his home city stadium, having sold-out two nights back in 2023. He will overtake The Rolling Stones who have performed at St James’ Park on three previous occasions.

£1 from every ticket sold will be donated back into select cultural organisations such as Youth Music and Sunday For Sammy to support the artists in the North East of England. Fender's new album will be released on 21 February 2025.

As previously announced, next month the singer heads out on the first leg of The People Watching Tour across the UK and Ireland, with all the arena dates long since sold out.
