Sam Fender at O2 City Hall Newcastle: All you need to know including times, support acts and ballot information

Following his tour of Europe, Sam Fender returns to Newcastle on Tuesday May 24 for his first ever show at the O2 City Hall.

The weeknight gig is being played in support of North East Homeless, a local charity which Fender has recently become a patron of.

The charity provides support, assistance and training for people across the North East without a home and those who have previously experienced the same struggles.

At the time, he said: "Absolutely honoured to become a patron for North East Homeless, the work that Brian and the team do to help the most vulnerable in our community is incredible.”

How were tickets allocated for Sam Fenders City Hall gig?

The show, which was initially announced at the end of April, were allocated via an exclusive ballot to O2 and Virgin Media customers with £5 from each ticket being given to charity.

The ballot opened on April 25 before closing on May 15 and fans who applied now know if they were successful. No resale tickets are available but anyone unable to go will have their tickets re-allocated.

Anyone waiting to find out if they are successful should have found out the good news on May 17.
