After plenty of excitement and build up, Sam Fender closed his two show stint at St James Park on Saturday night with another incredible show at the home of Newcastle United.

The first show saw Sam Fender’s brother, Liam, appear on stage as the siblings performed a cover of I’m On Fire by Bruce Springsteen, one of the biggest inspirations behind the duo who have both forged a career in music. The two also sang the same song together as part of the setlist for the second show.
