Stage show with six former Sunderland AFC players sharing match memories and stories, with an interactive Q&A.
Sunderland Legends comes to the Sunderland Empire on Monday 29 March 2027, bringing six former Sunderland AFC players together on one stage. The line-up is Don Hutchison, Allan Johnston, Alex Rae, Kevin Ball, Paul Bracewell and Peter Reid. It's not a performance in the usual sense; the whole evening is built around on-stage conversation and an interactive Q&A with the audience, so you'll be hearing from them directly rather than watching a scripted show.
The six will be sharing match memories, behind-the-scenes tales and candid accounts from their time at the club. With that many names on stage at once, the conversation should pull in a fair few different eras and perspectives on what it was like inside the dressing room. The Q&A part means you can put your own questions to them, so if there's a particular game or a specific story you've always wondered about, you'll have your chance to ask.
If you're after something more than a seat, there's a VIP upgrade sold separately from the standard ticket. It adds early entry, a welcome drink, an exclusive commemorative lanyard and a professionally printed photograph taken with all six legends, with a digital download available within 24 hours and a photo frame included. It's a separate add-on, so you can stick to the standard ticket if that's your speed.

One thing to keep in mind: there's an age guidance of 14+ because of strong language, which probably isn't too surprising when you've got six former footballers talking candidly about their time in the game. Tickets start from £26 via ATG Tickets, and the show kicks off at 19:30 at the Sunderland Empire, 4-5 High Street West, SR1 3EX.
