Beyoncé, Harry Styles and Arctic Monkeys are all embarking on summer stadium tours in the UK.
In 2022, Wembley, the UK's largest stadium, hosted as many gigs as it did football matches.
Mr Davidson says the Stadium of Light can hold 60,000 people at a typical concert, which has helped attract artists like Beyoncé and Pink to the north-east of England this summer."We've got space and we're in the city centre. That's attractive to [concert] promoters," Mr Davidson says. "They have to go from one venue to another and be in and out really quickly - that saves them money," Steve adds."There's a lot of pressure," he tells the BBC. "It's a big gamble for promoters because everything's bigger: More trucks, more crew, more equipment."
"Demand for the band is huge. We've sold 500,000 tickets in England and Wales alone," he tells the BBC.The Glastonbury headliners will be stopping by Bristol City's Ashton Gate Stadium, Norwich City's Carrow Road Stadium and Middlesborough FC's Riverside Stadium - three towns and cities that don't currently have arena venues.
