Sam Fender’s recent headline shows in Newcastle are said to have brought in £15million to the local economy.The slots took place at St James’ Park Stadium last weekend (June 9 and June 10), and were the biggest headline slots to date in the singer-songwriter’s career.Both sold-out dates saw more than 100,000 fans flock to the Newcastle Stadium on Friday and Saturday, for what would become an iconic moment for the city, and a new milestone for the musician.Supported by Hector Gannet, Holly Humberstone and Inhaler at the first night of the two-day residency, a highlight of the show included the North Shields singer performing a Bruce Springsteen cover at the opening show. An even more monumental surprise occurred on the second night, when Fender was joined on stage by rock icon and AC/DC legend, Brian Johnson.
