UK Foo Fighters will play The Fire Station in Sunderland on Friday 3 July 2026, with the show opening at 19:30. Entry is not free, booking is required, and under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.
The concert brings a full Foo Fighters tribute set to the city, built around 30 years of music from the band fronted by Dave Grohl. The Sunderland BID listing describes the event as a live tribute performance for rock music fans, with tickets available to book in advance.
The Fire Station hosts a 30-year Foo Fighters set
The event is billed as UK Foo Fighters at The Fire Station, a Sunderland concert venue already listed by Sunderland BID for the July date. The show is framed around three decades of Foo Fighters songs, giving fans a night focused on the catalogue that turned the band into one of the most recognisable names in modern rock.
UK Foo Fighters are described in the event listing as a tribute band with an 18-year reputation and national music press attention, including mentions in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Kerrang, NME, Q, MOJO and Planet Rock. The source also notes that the band featured in the 2017 BBC documentary “UK Foo Fighters – My Hero”.
For readers planning a night out, the key detail is simple: this is a ticketed evening concert at The Fire Station, not a free outdoor event or drop-in city-centre performance. Anyone interested should treat it as a booked gig rather than a casual walk-up listing.

Why this one is aimed at rock fans
The show is aimed at people who want the sound and scale of a Foo Fighters-style live set without waiting for a stadium tour date. The source describes the performance as spanning the band’s three decades of music and says UK Foo Fighters focus on recreating the live feel closely.
That makes the event most relevant for Foo Fighters fans, tribute-band regulars and Sunderland gig-goers looking for a Friday night concert with familiar rock songs at a city venue. The age condition also makes the family position clear: younger fans can attend only if accompanied by an adult.
