UK Foo Fighters play Sunderland on 3 July

UK Foo Fighters will bring a Foo Fighters tribute show to The Fire Station in Sunderland on Friday, 3 July, with the performance scheduled to begin at 19:30. Tickets are listed at £7.50, booking is required, and under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.

The concert is billed as a celebration of 30 years of Foo Fighters music, built around the songs and live-show energy associated with the band led by Dave Grohl. According to Sunderland BID’s event listing, the show is aimed at rock fans looking for a live tribute performance rather than a standard club night or general music listing.

The Fire Station hosts a Foo Fighters tribute night

The Sunderland date puts UK Foo Fighters inside The Fire Station, one of the named city venues in the Sunderland BID events programme. The source listing gives the venue as The Fire Station and confirms the show date as 03 July 2026, with opening time shown as 19:30.

The event is presented as a concert rather than a festival or multi-act bill. The focus is UK Foo Fighters, a tribute band whose set is framed around three decades of Foo Fighters material. The listing describes the performance as a journey through the music of the now legendary band, with attention placed on the live experience associated with Foo Fighters shows.

For Sunderland readers, the practical appeal is clear: this is a single-evening rock concert in the city, with a confirmed venue, start time, ticket cost and booking requirement already published.

A 30-year Foo Fighters celebration

The show is tied to 30 years of Foo Fighters music. The source describes UK Foo Fighters as a world-famous tribute band and says the performance spans three decades of music from Foo Fighters and their frontman Dave Grohl.

The event listing also points to the tribute band’s wider profile, noting that UK Foo Fighters have been featured in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Kerrang, NME, Q, MOJO and Planet Rock magazines. It says they have built their reputation over 18 years and references the 2017 BBC documentary “UK Foo Fighters – My Hero”.

That context matters for anyone deciding whether the show fits their night out. The listing is not presenting a casual covers set; it is selling the evening as a detailed tribute to the sound, pacing and atmosphere of a Foo Fighters live performance. The emphasis is on the familiar catalogue, the rock-show feel and the connection to one of the biggest guitar bands of the past three decades.

Who the Sunderland concert is likely to suit

The event is aimed most directly at Foo Fighters fans and rock music listeners who want a live tribute show in Sunderland. The listing describes the performance as one for “any rock music fan”, with the band aiming to recreate the feel of a Foo Fighters concert as closely as possible.

Because under-14s must be accompanied by an adult, the show may also work for families with younger rock fans, provided an adult attends with them. The source does not list any additional age restrictions beyond that note.

The £7.50 price point also makes the listing useful for readers comparing July events in Sunderland, especially those looking for an evening concert rather than a daytime market, family activity or outdoor festival.

Booking details published by Sunderland BID

Sunderland BID lists the event as requiring booking and includes a “Book Your Tickets” prompt in the source event page. The available listing confirms the date, time, venue, entry fee status, price and under-14s guidance.

Readers planning to attend should use the published event listing to book, and should note that the confirmed venue information names The Fire Station but does not provide a street address in the source text.
