Police ‘concern’ for missing Newcastle United fan last seen at Sam Fender gig on crazy concert weekend

There are concerns over the welfare of a Newcastle United fan who attended one of the sold-out Sam Fender shows at St James' Park this weekend.

Durham Constabulary have shared an appeal to help find a 55-year-old man named Fred who went missing at 11 pm on Saturday, June 10.

The Magpies supporter was last seen in Leazes Park, just outside the football stadium, having attended the second of the two Sam Fender shows at St James' Park this weekend.

Fred lives in Darlington and is described as 5ft 8ins tall, of a medium build and with short dark hair.

The concert-goer was last seen wearing a retro Newcastle United football shirt, a waistcoat, black and white flat cap and a colourful patchwork jacket.

Over 100,000 people attended the two concerts at the stadium on Friday and Saturday nights as Sam Fender played his two landmark homecoming shows.

On Saturday night, while Sam Fender played at St James’ Park, pop star P!nk played the first of her two shows at Stadium of Light with huge crowd seen across the North East for the two events.

Police are appealing to anyone who might have information regarding Fred's whereabouts to get in touch with Durham Constabulary on 101, quoting incident reference 403 of June 11.
