Here is the story of The Point Events Venue in Holmeside, Sunderland so far. It books pop and house acts. It has live music 2 nights a week.
The Point Events Venue is a grassroots music venue in Holmeside, Sunderland with a standing capacity of about 50. It books Pop, House.
Listing notesThe Point is a multi-purpose performing arts and events venue in the heart of Sunderland city centre, on Holmeside (SR1 3HY). Beyond its grand main hall — which hosts everything from awards evenings and banquets to boxing and MMA — the venue runs the intimate Live Lounge, a dedicated live-music room that puts bands on stage every weekend and champions local and grassroots musicians. The bill leans into classic rock, blues, tribute acts and party-cover bands (recent names include Blistered Molly, Brassneck and The Fab Four Anthology), with happy-hour pints from around £2.50 during Live Lounge nights. Run as a proper city-centre events complex rather than a back-room pub stage, it's a reliable platform for North-East cover bands and tributes drawing a weekend crowd.
