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 in June 2026. 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.

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.

Stephanie Brown ★★★★★
Comfortable, spacious, and a brilliant place to celebrate properly. Midweek, while juggling multiple businesses, I was able to use the boardroom to get work done in a quiet, warm, professional space, which made life much easier. I also have to mention the staff. The reception team were incredibly professional, friendly, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The housekeeper was just as impressive, everything was spotless, well looked after, and clearly cared for. You could really feel the pride they take in the place.
Helen Wilson ★★★★★
Great venue, great staff … made what could have been a stressful event extremely easy !!! All at Helen Wilson School of Dance and Drama thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas recital. That is in no small part with thanks to the wonderful venue. Best Wishes Helen Wilson xxx

I recently hired the boardroom to deliver a workshop, what a great space! Lovely comfy seats, tv and recording for presentations and lovely atmosphere. I had a tour of the building and I was blown away! The apartments are stunning! Really lovely place and friendly, helpful staff. Looking forward to hosting more events here in the future!
