Take That and Party at The Place this Summer

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 concertgoers 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.

Why Groups Are Choosing The Place in Sunderland

If you are travelling as a group and want something more memorable than basic hotel rooms without breaking the bank, The Place Sunderland offers a unique alternative.

Our three beautifully renovated Grade II listed houses are located in Sunniside, right in the heart of the city centre and around 10 minutes’ walk to the Stadium of Light. The houses sleep between seven and twelve guests, making them ideal for groups of friends attending major events like Take That at the Stadium of Light.

Inside, you will find high end kitchens perfect for shared breakfasts or pre show drinks, large dining rooms designed for social gatherings, and super spacious living rooms that are made for after show celebrations.

The interiors are full of character and style, creating endless Instagram moments and the perfect backdrop for a weekend you will want to remember.

Instead of splitting up across hotel rooms, you can stay together under one roof and enjoy the city properly.

Stay Central and Experience Sunderland Properly

Staying centrally means you are perfectly placed to enjoy Sunderland’s bars, restaurants, and nightlife before and after the concert. Whether you are heading out for dinner, planning drinks with friends, or hosting your own after show party back at the house, The Place gives you the flexibility and space that hotels simply cannot match.

For fans travelling long distances to see Take That return to Sunderland, choosing the right accommodation can elevate the entire experience from a single night into an unforgettable summer weekend.

Book Early for Summer 2026 Events

Major tours and stadium shows drive huge demand for accommodation across the city. If you are planning to attend Take That Circus Live in June 2026, booking early is strongly recommended, especially for group stays.

The Place Sunderland offers a premium group accommodation experience that combines space, style, and location. It is the perfect base for making the most of one of Sunderland’s biggest music events of the year.
