Concert | Tunes of the Tyne

A live music expert suggests that the complaints about the expensive ticket prices for Sam Fender's upcoming tour are misplaced. Image of Sam Fender's concert at St James' Park (2023).

Sam Fender also announced a stadium tour with three nights at St James’ Park, Newcastle, in June 2025. These tickets cost £83.70 for standing and between £61.70 and £100.20 for seats. The prices for both tours have been criticised by fans on social media for how high they are. https://www.tiktok.com/@liamgallaghersmonobrow_/video/7427435550396648736?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_...

Indie icons, Wallows, take on Newcastle for the first time ever at the O2 City Hall for their 'Model' world tour, and it was an electric first impression for the Tyne. After anticipating Wallow’s latest album, ‘Model’, for months, I knew I had to be in attendance to their tour, especially since they were playing a Newcastle venue barely 10 minutes down the road from me. If you're unfamiliar with Wallows, that's understandable, as this was the first time the LA-based band had ever tackled a Newcastle stage. I had the privilege of seeing Wallows on their last world tour in 2023 at Leeds' O2 Academy and was hooked on the vibrant, playful energy that they brought. So, I had incredibly high expectations for the tour this time around. They did not disappoint. https://open.spotify.com/p...
