Kicking things off on Saturday, December 6, Floyd UK make their Sunderland debut with a special performance marking the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd’s classic album Wish You Were Here.

Fans can expect a full live run-through of the album alongside a selection of the band’s most beloved hits.

Doors open at 6.30pm, with a short break mid-show — so punctuality is recommended if you don’t want to miss Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

The celebrations continue on Saturday, December 13 with These Smiths, widely regarded as one of the world’s best Smiths/Morrissey tribute acts.

Faithfully recreating the sound, look and attitude of the original band, their setlist spans The Smiths’ entire career, delivering a night of nostalgic 80s.

Rounding off the month in glittering style, Absolutely ABBA take to the stage on Saturday 27th December, bringing the sparkle and feel-good vibes of Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo and more.

All three shows are family friendly.
