We have four tickets to give away for huge Stages Festival in Sunderland
The biggest electronic music event of its kind to be held in Sunderland is gearing up to take over the city centre next weekend - and you and your mates could be there for free.
Keel Square will be the focal point of the festival on Saturday, September 27 with a 360degree stage in the square, performances from the likes of Billy Gillies, Basshunter, Ultrabeat, N-Trance, MDDLTTN, Jay Stone and more as well as immersive visuals on the Expo Pavilion screen.
The Keel Square gig, called Stages On The Square, which takes place from 12pm to 10pm, is ticketed and priced £25 plus booking fee.
The beat continues at grassroots venues, meanwhile, with a series of takeovers, which are a mixture of free entry and ticketed, called Stages At The Venues.
Running from Friday 26 September to Saturday 4 October, Stages At The Venues spans a series of vibrant venues across Sunderland.
This includes Independent, Pop Recs, The Bunker, Saltgrass, Mexico70, The Point, Diegos and even a secret location – bringing together some of the region’s most exciting promoters, artists and audiences.
From underground DJ sets and genre-pushing live acts to an electronic music open mic night and all-ages performances, Stages: At The Venues is aimed at being the city’s biggest celebration of electronic music.
Events include a Public House Party takeover at a secret location yet to be announced, headline sets from touring electronic artists such as Paranoid London. There’s also a celebration of local talent with collectives like All Frequencies Sound Collective, Badget (Ako) and more.
