Sam Fender at St James Park: Updated times, support, tickets, parking and travel information

The North Tyneside star is set for his next series of shows at the home of Newcastle United after two shows back in the summer of 2023 and we can’t wait.

This year has already seen Fender win trophies at the Brit Awards, notch himself another number one album and headline festivals, but the huge homecoming shows will no doubt be something to remember for Tyneside.

This is everything you need to know about the shows.

When are the Sam Fender shows at St James Park?

Fender will return to St James Park for three dates this June. They will fall on Thursday, June 12, Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15.

What are the times for Sam Fender at St James Park?

The doors for all three shows will open at 4pm on their respective days.

Fender’s show in London last week had the first support starting at 6:15pm and the second at 7:25pm with the headline set starting at 8:40. Although times are likely to be similar, local supports will likely start the live music earlier.

Who is supporting Sam Fender at St James Park?

After The War On Drugs pulled out of their support slots earlier this year, fans were left disappointed.

Despite this, Irish singer-songwriter CMAT will still be performing across the dates, as will Olivia Dean who is set to perform at the final two of the three North East shows.

Local acts have also been confirmed to open the shows, with The Pale White kicking off the first night, Ernie starting the second and Hector Gannet opening the third.

Are tickets still available for Sam Fender at St James Park?

Very, very limited numbers of production hold tickets are released at short notice, so keep an eye out!

Some ticket providers such as Ticketmaster are also offering resale tickets. These can be found on the event pages of its website.

How to get to St James Park

Thanks to the venue’s city centre location, there are plenty of options to get to the shows. There are a series of Tyne and Wear Metro stations which are walkable from the stadium, namely St James, Haymarket and Monument.

Newcastle Central Station is also a 15 minute walk from the venue.

Haymarket bus station is also very close to the venue.

Metro and Go North East bus teams have warned services are expected to be very busy throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Additional metro trains will be in service after the show to help get fans home.

Although there is a small multi storey car park to the direct north west of the stadium on Barrack Road, this is mainly used for stadium staff and can get very busy on event days. Newcastle City Council runs 61 car parks across the city and have a map on their website to help visitors find their nearest or most accessible car park. All spots can be found on the Newcastle City Council website.
