This is the moment hundreds of Newcastle United fans were seen dancing in the streets after a DJ held an impromptu illegal rave - outside St James' Park. The footage showing barmy Geordies partying outside the ground has gone viral and even prompted the club's co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi to ask: 'Where was my invite?' Shakeil Luciano - known as Schak - set up his decks and sound system near the stadium following The Magpies' 1-0 victory against Chelsea on Saturday (12/11). Schak, who has appeared on BBC Radio 1, has become an online sensation for holding wild unauthorised raves on buses, trains, ferries and even at a B&Q store. And the Newcastle fan's latest gig saw him whipping supporters into a frenzy by blasting out dance tunes which double as terrace chants at St James'. Hundreds of raving Geordies can be seen singing and bouncing along to the music behind the Gallowgate Stand near the St James' metro station stop. Nearly half a million people have viewed the footage online since it was uploaded to social media over the weekend - including Newcastle's owner. Mehrdad Ghodoussi joked on Twitter: “Can’t believe I missed this. An invite would be appreciated next time.” Schak, of North Shields, Tyne and Wear, wrote: “This is why I love the Toon so much. “Thank you to everyone who joined in last night. “I’m so proud to be a Geordie. “I would never be where I am if I didn’t come from this amazing city. “Thank you, Newcastle, for everything you have given me. “Up the Toon.” Dressed in his black and white football strip, Schak was surrounded by rowdy Geordies as he pumped out tunes from his turntables during the impromptu football rave. Supporters can be heard chanting along to 'Toon Army' and 'Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, a striker from Sweden” - in reference to record signing Alexander Isak. The footage also shows fans partying to Schak’s new single 'Moving All Around (Jumpin’)' which is currently number one on SoundCloud. One fan commented: “Schak I don’t know who you are or what you do but the club have got to give you a plinth between Sir Bobbys and Allen Shearer’s statues before and after the game. “This madness has got to continue." Another supporter said: “Keep this up Schak, the atmosphere it generated was electric.” A third viewer commented: “This is the anthem bringing the title to the North East. Love it Schak. It will be blasting at our next home game.” Last month, Schak held other raves around the city and videos circulated showing ravers partying on the top deck of the 308 Arriva bus service. Another video showed Schak and his pals piling into a Metro train carriage before partying as it pulled into St James’ Park station. He said previously: "The whole experience has been awesome. The buzz you get from doing that I felt like I was playing Glastonbury main stage."
