Having seen his debut album “Hypersonic Missiles” soar to the number one spot in the UK album charts, local hero Sam Fender has confirmed a huge homecoming arena date in Newcastle as part of his just-announced Spring 2020 tour.

Backed by a colossal public demand, the North Shields born star will now be performing at the Newcastle Utilita Arena on Friday, April 3, 2020, representing a meteoric rise for the Brit Awards Critics’ Choice award winner.

Sam, a fiercely proud Geordie and North Easterner, has struck a chord with music fans the world over thanks to his anthemic chart-topping Bruce Springsteen inspired hits – which includes ‘Play God’, ‘Will We Talk,’ and ‘The Borders.’

And, having already sold out four back to back Newcastle 02 Academy shows in December 2019, North East fans who missed out on tickets will now get another chance to see the UK’s hottest new talent

Steve Davis, of SSD Concerts, said: “We’re massively proud to be promoting a North East artist with North East management at Newcastle Arena. It feels like this is just the beginning for Sam and we’re excited to see where his career goes!

“The album isn’t just good because it has reached number one, it’s the best collection of songs from any artist for quite some time and deserves all the plaudits it’s receiving.

“This show will be a real celebration not only for the region but for Sam and his team who have worked tirelessly for a few years now and it’s amazing to see it starting to pay off.”

Tickets will go on fan pre-sale on Wednesday 25^th September priced at £27.50 at 9 am via Ticketline at this link: https://tinyurl.com/y65sefv2

Tickets will then go on general sale from 9 am via Ticketline on Friday 27^th September
