The 'Seventeen Going Under' singer travelled down to London with bandmates to watch the club's first cup final since 1999. On the Saturday evening, Fender shared videos of himself and chums partying alongside Newcastle fans in Trafalgar Square as anticipation for the big game was building.
The star's saxophone player, known as Jonny 'Bluehat’ Davis regularly sports a black-and-white shirt on stage behind Fender and whipped out his instrument at Trafalgar Square to blast a quick rendition of 'Local Hero' to the thousands of fans gathered.
Sadly, it wasn't to be for Fender and Newcastle fans as a clinical Manchester United secured a 2-0 victory thanks to a goal from Casemiro and a Sven Botman own goal.
Nonetheless, Fender was positive in his Instagram story as he caught a video of the waving Wor Flags display in the final minutes of the match as supporters put on a show of pride for Eddie Howe's side.

The star said: "Ever since I started this band, I always used to joke with the boys that one day we might play St James' Park in Newcastle.
"It's a childhood dream come true, and we're actually gonna play it on the 9th June. This is literally gonna be the biggest show we've ever done - our first stadium show, which is so weird to say! I can't wait, it's gonna be absolutely lush and I hope to see yas all there."
