We've ordered a record 7.5 tonnes of beer for our derby day fanzone in Newcastle
A Newcastle venue has ordered a record 7.5 tonnes of beer for its fanzone ahead of the Tyne-Wear derby this weekend.
NX on Westgate Road is one of the largest venues in the city offering a big screen experience for Sunday’s fixture, which will be the first derby at St James Park in over a decade.
Building on the success of previous sold-out events including events for the 2025 Carabao Cup Final and 2024 European Championships, NX is promising a full matchday experience with a packed entertainment line-up.
DJs and live music will be entertaining crowds from the opening time of 10am until kick off and into the afternoon after the fixture.
Luke Rushfirth, Venue Manager at NX, said: “The response to this has been huge. We’ve seen phenomenal demand again, which is why we’ve gone big - from the entertainment line-up right through to ordering a record 7.5 tonnes of beer to keep fans going throughout the day.”
He added: “Derby days in Newcastle are always special, and we’re ready to deliver another unforgettable atmosphere for supporters in the city.”
Tickets for the event are on sale now through the venue’s website.
