Take That and Party at The Place this Summer
Take That
Sunderland 2026
Sunderland is shaping up to be one of the UK’s must visit cities for live music and unforgettable weekends in 2026. With major stadium shows returning to the North East, the city will once again be buzzing with fans travelling from across the country to see their favourite artists live.
One of the biggest highlights of the summer calendar is the return of Take That, bringing their Circus Live Tour to Sunderland. If you are planning a group trip with friends, now is the perfect time to think beyond hotels and discover a better way to stay together in the heart of the city.
Take That Return to Sunderland for a Huge Stadium Show
Formed in 1990, Take That remain one of the most successful British pop bands of all time. With chart defining hits such as Back for Good, their music has soundtracked generations and their live shows are known for being full scale productions that turn concerts into events.
In June 2026, Take That will perform at Stadium of Light, one of the largest venues in the North East. With a capacity of close to 49,000, the show is expected to sell out quickly and attract fans from far beyond Sunderland. Many concert goers are expected to travel from across the UK, turning the night into a full weekend celebration with friends.
For groups, this is not just about the gig. It is about making memories, enjoying the city, and having the right place to stay together before and after the show.
Make a Weekend of It With Friends
Big reunion tours like this naturally lend themselves to group trips.
Friends who grew up with Take That are now planning weekends away, nights out, and shared experiences rather than rushing home after the final song.
Sunderland has plenty of accommodation options.
The Hilton Garden Inn Sunderland is the closest hotel to the stadium, but it sits on the outskirts of the city centre.
The Holiday Inn Sunderland City Centre is more centrally located and will be a popular choice for many fans.
However, hotels are not always ideal for larger groups who want to stay together, socialise, and truly enjoy the full weekend.
