Alexander Isak of Newcastle United celebrates with the Carabao Cup trophy
Newcastle United have announced plans for their Carabao Cup trophy parade next weekend. The club has released details about a huge free event on the Town Moor.
The club had been locked in talks with Newcastle City Council and have opted for a pop concert style celebration in which each player will be called to the front of the stage complete with their winners medals.
The Magpies will celebrate the club's historic victory with a free open-air event on Saturday, 29th March. They ended 56 years of hurt by beating Liverpool 2-1 in the final at Wembley on Sunday.
A club statement said: "Supporters will get the chance to see Eddie Howe and the first team players with the cup for the first time since last Sunday's famous win at Wembley. Newcastle United is working with its city partners to deliver a safe and enjoyable event. The club extends its thanks to the Freemen of Newcastle, Newcastle City Council, the North East Combined Authority, NE1, Nexus and the emergency services.
"Set around a large main stage on the Town Moor, adjacent to the Great North Road, the open-air event will be free to attend. Supporters are asked to register their interest to assist with planning. It will feature a DJ, live band, 'Road to Wembley' highlights, a screening of the full cup final and special guests.
"The team will then proudly lift the Carabao Cup on stage - presenting the club's first domestic trophy for 70 years to the city. The celebrations will close with a spectacular show from club partner Sela and further event details will be published ahead of the show."
