Massive Newcastle Euros Fanzone lined up for crunch Slovakia match
Live music and Toon legend confirmed!
Newcastle city centre venue NX has confirmed that it will host a huge Euros fanzone this Sunday after England learned that they will play Slovakia in the crunch final 16 game.
The event, hosted by The Magpie Channel’s Matty Renton, will welcome Newcastle Utd icon Micky Quinn as special guest, live music from Tyneside indie rock ‘n rollers The Avelons - fresh from their performance at Isle of Wight Festival - and a rousing live rendition of the national anthem before the game delivered by the soul powerhouse that is Beth Macari.
Hotly tipped as the best England squad since the Golden Generation, it’s hoped that Gareth Southgate’s team can put their frustrating start behind them and go all out for the nation’s first major honours since '66 with a favourable route to the final ahead.
Exclusive early bird tickets are now on sale from just £8 plus booking fees, with doors opening at 3:30pm with a kick-off time of 5pm.
Notion Live Events & NX are excited to announce that NUFC legend Micky Quinn as its on-stage guest. Quinn, known for his prolific goal-scoring and charismatic presence during his time at Newcastle United, will appear at the first game of the knockout stages alongside popular NUFC vlogger, Matty Renton from The Magpie Channel.
Quinn's tenure with The Magpies left an indelible mark, with his knack for finding the back of the net making him a fan favourite. His return to Newcastle, a city that holds him in high regard, promises to be a thrilling highlight for fans attending the event and the feeling is clearly mutual:
“It’s fantastic to be part of this incredible event at NX Newcastle,” says Quinn. “The atmosphere here in Newcastle is always electric, and I can’t wait to see the fans come together to support England. Hosting the game and being back in the city that means so much to me is a real honour. Let’s bring it home!”

Local singer-songwriter Beth Macari will be taking to the St George’s Cross-adorned stage to belt out a live rendition of the national anthem. Macari, who recently released her soulful new single 'Feel the Same’ can’t wait to kick-off proceedings.
She said: “I honestly can’t wait to sing at this incredible event! It’ll be an absolute pleasure to perform the national anthem in front of such a passionate crowd. Supporting England on their journey in the Euros at NX will be a truly unforgettable experience. It’s great that the fanzone is also supporting local artists.“
