DAY TIME DISCO – ABBA at The Point Sunderland

DAY TIME DISCO – ABBA lands at The Point Sunderland on Saturday 12 December with an afternoon built around one of pop’s most reliable catalogues. The 3pm start gives it the feel of a daytime party, while the playlist expands beyond ABBA into wider 70s disco and funk.

Dancing Queen and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! are obvious anchors, but the afternoon is not limited to a straight greatest-hits run. Other 70s dancefloor records sit alongside the ABBA favourites, which should keep the set moving without narrowing the whole event to one catalogue.

The format works because ABBA can carry a room without needing a live tribute band. The melodies are immediate, the choruses are communal and the disco side of the catalogue sits naturally beside funkier records from the same era.

The December date also gives the afternoon a useful pre-Christmas feel without turning it into a generic festive party. The music stays firmly focused on ABBA and the 70s, so the identity of the event remains clear.

Start time and tickets

The event starts at 3pm and is ticketed. The Point is in Sunderland city centre, close to Sunderland Station and Park Lane, which makes the daytime timing easy to plan around.
