It was in April 1987 that you began your vigil outside Roker Park to make sure you were at the front of the queue.
The Sunderland Echo was there to speak to the first fans in the line, and we also have a whole host of memories of David Bowie’s performance.
Relive them all and then share your own memories of the day by emailing [email protected]
