Speaking to NME about the gigs last year, Fender discussed being the first fully Geordie band to headline St James’ Park, and following in Johnson’s footsteps.

“No actual Geordie band has ever done it. Brian Johnson did it with AC/DC, but they were already an Australian band that were doing well [before he joined].

“For the whole band to be from the area and to play there, it’s a really, really big thing for us.”

Ahead of the shows, Fender announced special celebratory Newcastle editions of his next album by sharing QR codes across the city.

The posters contained three variations of Newcastle United shirts, each one representing one of the his albums. The first showed the garment with the number one on it — representing his debut 2019 album, ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ — and the second showed the number two, referring to his second LP ‘Seventeen Going Under’, which arrived in 2021.
