Hundreds of thousands of jubilant Newcastle United fans lined the streets of Newcastle to celebrate the club’s historic Carabao Cup victory over Liverpool, marking the club’s first domestic trophy win in 70 years. The city was transformed into a sea of black and white as fans cheered on an open-top bus parade.
An estimated 150,000 fans gathered at Town Moor for a ticketed event where players lifted the trophy, recreating their iconic celebration from Wembley Stadium on March 16.
For manager Eddie Howe, the celebration was a deeply emotional moment. A massive banner was unfurled outside St James’ Park in his honor. Goalscorer Dan Burn, a lifelong Newcastle fan, expressed his disbelief: “I don’t know what I was expecting, but it is everything I have ever dreamed of. It is something I will never forget.”
Newcastle-born TV personalities Ant and Dec joined the celebrations, sharing their excitement on social media. Ant McPartlin shouted, “Let’s get ready to rumble!” while Declan Donnelly expressed disbelief at sneaking onto the parade bus. The pair led chants of “ole, ole, ole, ole” while overlooking fans at St James’ Park.
As the bus neared Town Moor, the area was engulfed in white smoke while fans sang a unique rendition of “Hey Jude,” replacing the name with “Geordies.”
The celebration culminated in a stunning drone show sponsored by Sela, featuring illuminated images of the Newcastle United jersey and the phrase “Making History.” The display provided a fitting end to a memorable day for Newcastle United fans.
This victory marks a new chapter for Newcastle United as fans eagerly anticipate further success under Eddie Howe’s leadership.
