The boyhood Newcastle United fan is scheduled to perform twice at St James’ Park, becoming the first ever Geordie to headline the North East’s largest stadium.

The singer and his football team have both enjoyed a rise to prominence in recent times and the upcoming tour is a celebration of Fender’s 2021 album Seventeen Going Under which enjoyed huge success in the UK charts.

Fender has described the concert as a special moment for him in his career and he will be welcomed to the stage by a sell-out crowd. But what songs is Fender likely to play on his homecoming visit at St James’ Park? Here is everything you need to know.
