Sunderland Events: Sunderland Empire Theatre
Live events, concerts, sports, theatre and unforgettable tours — handpicked, city by city.
Sunderland's calendar runs almost entirely through one historic stage, with our listings tracking all 45 events at the Sunderland Empire Theatre, a 1907 auditorium that remains the North East's biggest touring-theatre venue outside Newcastle.
Broadway and West End transfers, pantomime, comedy and opera all pass through the Empire's stage, making it the default answer for a big night out in the city.
A city better known nationally for its football club, Sunderland's ticketed events calendar is currently led by this one grand Edwardian theatre.
Every listing links directly to a trusted ticketing partner for live pricing and availability. Browse the calendar below and filter by category or date to plan your visit.
