Schak set to ignite Newcastle Carabao cup final fanzone at NX
The excitement is reaching fever pitch as Newcastle United prepare for a monumental showdown against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley on Sunday, March 16.
While thousands of Geordies will be making the pilgrimage to London, those staying in the North East won’t miss out on the action, as NX Newcastle transforms into an electric Carabao Cup Final fanzone, featuring an exclusive live DJ set from North Shields sensation Schak and a giant screen broadcasting all the action live from Wembley.
Schak, one of the most exciting rising stars in the UK electronic music scene, is a die-hard Newcastle United fan through and through. From his viral guerrilla DJ sets on the Metro and Shields Ferry to performing outside St James’ Park, the North Shields native has built a reputation for throwing some of the wildest parties in the North East. Now, he’s bringing that same energy to NX Newcastle for what promises to be an unforgettable day of football, music, and pure Geordie passion.
Speaking about the upcoming event, Schak said: “I’m buzzing for this – it’s an absolute dream come true. Newcastle United is in my blood, and to be playing a set for my fellow fans, in our city, on one of the biggest days in the club’s history is just unreal. Whether we lift the trophy or not, I can promise you one thing – this is going to be a day Newcastle will never forget.”
“The Toon Army is like no other. We’ve waited so long for moments like this, and come win or lose, we’re going to make this a celebration of what it means to support this club. We’ll be jumping, singing, and partying from the first whistle to the last. Let’s bring the noise, Newcastle!”
Newcastle’s Largest Indoor Fanzone
NX Newcastle is pulling out all the stops to ensure fans who can’t make it to Wembley still experience the thrill of the final in an atmosphere as electric as being there in person. The venue will be decked out in black and white as the Toon Army takes over for a full day of entertainment, football, and live music.
Doors will open at 1:00 PM, giving fans the chance to soak up the pre-match atmosphere, enjoy exclusive DJ performances, and get behind Eddie Howe’s men as they aim to bring silverware back to Tyneside.
“We’re making history as a club, and this event is all about bringing fans together,” Schak added. “There’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here, with my fellow Geordies, belting out the songs, celebrating the team, and making sure this is a day we never forget.”
