New Year's Eve at The Fire Station

The Fire Station is hosting a New Year's Eve party on Thursday 31 December, with Daft Punkz and Re:Rewind taking turns on the stage. It's a dancefloor night to see out 2026 and dance into 2027, built around live music, DJs and a midnight celebration.

Re:Rewind open the evening. They're a high-energy live band that brings back the biggest hits of the 90s and 00s, and they bring their 'BANDEOKE' experience with them — that's where the audience can step up to the mic and sing backed by the live band. If you've got a favourite track from those two decades, this is your chance to take a turn on the vocals.

Daft Punkz then take over. They're session musicians performing the entire Daft Punk catalogue, from Homework through to Random Access Memories, complete with the iconic helmets and immersive visuals. They describe it as a live-club-night experience, so it's the full run of the discography rather than a handful of the well-known ones. Between the two acts, the night moves from the 90s and 00s into the French house and disco of Daft Punk, with the midnight celebration sitting somewhere in the middle.

It runs from 20:30 to 01:00 at The Fire Station, in the Auditorium on High Street West, Sunderland SR1 3HA. Seating is unreserved and there's standing on Level 0, and under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. Early Bird tickets are £23 until 31 October.
