Foo Fighters songs in a Sunderland live setting

The event is billed as a celebration of 30 years of Foo Fighters, with UK Foo Fighters described in the listing as a world-famous tribute band taking audiences through three decades of music from the band and frontman Dave Grohl.

For Sunderland gig-goers, the pull is straightforward: a tribute show focused on the sound, detail and live atmosphere of one of modern rock’s best-known catalogues, staged at The Fire Station. The source describes the performance as one that aims to capture the vibe of a Foo Fighters live experience, down to close detail.

The listing also points to the band’s long-running reputation on the tribute circuit. UK Foo Fighters have been active for 18 years and are noted as having been featured in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Kerrang, NME, Q, MOJO and Planet Rock magazines.

The Fire Station hosts the July concert

The concert is scheduled for The Fire Station in Sunderland, with Sunderland BID listing the venue, date and opening time together on its events page. No street address is included in the supplied event details, so readers should use the venue name and confirmed city when making their own plans.

The Fire Station setting places the show within Sunderland’s wider events calendar, which also includes music, markets, community events and family-friendly listings around the same period. This one sits firmly in the concert category, aimed at rock fans and anyone looking for a tribute night centred on Foo Fighters material.

The event brief identifies Sunderland BID as the organiser and confirms the listing as a local event preview with a defined date, time, venue and ticket price.

What the listing says about the band

UK Foo Fighters are presented as a tribute act with national music-press recognition and a specific connection to the Foo Fighters story. The source states the band were celebrated as “THE” tribute to the Foo’s in the 2017 BBC documentary “UK Foo Fighters – My Hero”.

That background helps explain why the Sunderland date may appeal beyond casual nostalgia. The show is not framed as a general rock covers night, but as a performance dedicated to the music and stage feel of Foo Fighters across three decades.

The confirmed highlights are the 30-year Foo Fighters theme and a live tribute performance. The source does not list a setlist, support act, accessibility details, transport information or food and stall arrangements.

Tickets, age note and booking details

Entry is listed at £7.50, and the Sunderland BID page marks booking as required. Anyone planning to attend should treat that booking note as part of the event conditions rather than assuming walk-up entry will be available.

The age condition is also clear: under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. The event is therefore suitable for rock fans, Foo Fighters followers and families with older children who meet the accompaniment requirement.

The confirmed event details are UK Foo Fighters at The Fire Station, Sunderland, on 3 July 2026, starting at 19:30, with £7.50 entry and booking required.
