SMASH HITS BAND at The Point Sunderland

Smash Hits Band open November at The Point Sunderland with a Sunday Club set devoted to two decades that still dominate throwback playlists. The North East tribute band focus on 80s and 90s pop and dance, so this is less about guitar nostalgia and more about the songs that filled radios, clubs and school discos across both eras.

The event starts at 3pm, with Happy Hour running from 3pm to 4pm. Smash Hits Band go live at 4pm and entry is free. That early schedule makes it an easy Sunday afternoon rather than a night that stretches into Monday morning.

Smash Hits Band at Sunday Club

The two-decade format should give the band plenty of room to change pace. 80s pop can move from synth-driven tracks to big vocal ballads, while the 90s opens the door to dance, chart pop and the more upbeat material that defined the decade. The common thread is recognition rather than genre purity.

As a North East tribute band, Smash Hits Band also bring a regional connection to the date. For anyone who prefers live musicians to a themed DJ set, the band format should make those familiar songs feel more immediate.

Sunday afternoon timings

The event starts at 3pm, Happy Hour runs until 4pm and the band are live at 4pm. The Point is in Sunderland city centre, close to Sunderland Station and Park Lane, so the early slot is practical for public transport as well.
