Man in the Mirror, Sunderland: the 11 September show: key details
‘Thriller’, ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It’ head the advertised programme for Man in the Mirror, a Michael Jackson tribute concert listed at The Fire Station in Sunderland for 11 September 2026 at 19:00. The supplied event details give a price of £2.50 and state that booking is required.
The production features tribute performer CJ alongside a supporting cast, with choreography, costumes and visual effects forming part of the show. Its advertised audience includes both longstanding Michael Jackson fans and people discovering his music for the first time.
The listed date has now passed. Sunderland BID Events’ listing describes the planned production; it does not confirm whether the performance went ahead or provide a further Sunderland date. Readers finding the advertisement now should therefore treat it as information about the September booking, rather than confirmation of an upcoming show.
CJ fronts a programme of Michael Jackson hits
The concert’s central attraction is its selection of familiar songs. Alongside ‘Thriller’, ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It’, the listing names ‘Smooth Criminal’ and the title track, ‘Man in the Mirror’.
Those five tracks give readers a concrete indication of the musical programme, although they are examples rather than a complete running order. The description places recognisable hits at the centre of the production, making the song selection a useful starting point for anyone assessing whether the show matches their interests.
CJ takes the starring role, with other performers supporting the tribute to Jackson’s music and stage style. Sunderland BID describes CJ in promotional terms as one of the world’s greatest Michael Jackson tribute artists. That is the listing’s assessment rather than an independently established ranking.
Choreography and costumes shape the production
The advertised staging combines choreography with visual effects, a light show and costumes styled after Jackson’s looks. These elements give the production a visual focus alongside its musical programme: dance routines and the performers’ presentation are part of the advertised attraction.
For someone considering a future performance, the description points towards a staged tribute built around songs and movement. It provides an outline of the intended experience, rather than a review of what audiences saw at The Fire Station.
The Fire Station date and booking details
The event information identifies The Fire Station as the venue and gives 19:00 as the listed time. The reproduced page labels this under ‘Opening Times’, so readers should avoid assuming it establishes a separate doors time and performance start.
Booking was required, and the supplied brief records £2.50; the reproduced page text separately confirms paid entry without displaying an amount. The source does not specify a finish time, age restrictions, accessibility arrangements or transport information. These would need checking against any future booking details.
The advertisement’s ‘limited tickets’ wording relates to the original date and cannot establish current availability. Anyone seeking another opportunity to attend should check for a newly dated listing and its price before booking: the supplied Sunderland entry covers 11 September 2026 only.
