Maxïmo Park + Melanie Baker & Ladakee

We’re delighted to host indie rock icons Maxïmo Park for a very special show in The Parade Ground as part of The Fire Station’s Summer Parties season.

Like their friends and neighbours The Futureheads and Field Music, Mercury Prize-nominated Maxïmo Park craft smart, sharply catchy songs inspired by post-punk and new wave legends like The Jam, XTC, Wire, and The Smiths. 

The band have released seven studio albums to date: A Certain Trigger (2005), Our Earthly Pleasures (2007), Quicken The Heart (2009), The National Health (2012), Too Much Information (2014), Risk to Exist (2017) and Nature Always Wins (2021). The first two albums went gold in the UK.

The North East legends will be visiting Sunderland ahead of the release of their latest album ‘Stream of Life’, and we can’t wait to welcome them for this outdoor performance in The Parade Ground.

Standard tickets for the show are completely sold out however you can grab a VIP ticket on THE LOOKOUT, our exclusive balcony with the best views of all the action.

Included in your entry into THE LOOKOUT is your ticket for the show, guaranteed best-in-house seating and tables for you and your guests (ticket for THE LOOKOUT required), as well as table service for food and a private bar to beat the queues.
