Fans are calling for refunds after American rapper Childish Gambino was booed off-stage in Newcastle.

Childish Gambino, also known as 30 Rock writer and Community star Donald Glover, delivered a set that divided fans and left some outraged.

Performing for more than an hour, Glover's efforts did little to win over a crowd that had been chanting his name earlier in the evening.

Four hours after eager fans queued through the venue in anticipation for the sold-out gig, many were asking for their money back and slamming a performance in which the headline act barely uttered a word for 40 minutes.
