Rugby fanzone on the way as World Cup fever starts to build across city
Sunderland Echo
|August 18, 2025
Rugby fever is taking over Sunderland with a jam-packed programme of sport, music and entertainment.
As part of the buildup to the opening match of the Women's Rugby World Cup, which takes place at the Stadium of Light on Friday, August 22, a fanzone will be installed in the city centre.
ARTISTS
Keel Square will come to life with music from an all-female lineup of local artists, with Cortney Dixon, Shannon Pearl, Lottie Willis, Kay Greyson and Du Blonde all taking to a stage to entertain fans descending on the city the evening before kickoff.
More than 40,000 tickets have been sold for England v USA, the opening game of the tournament.
Fairground rides will keep the little ones entertained, and a range of street vendors will take to Keel Square too, as the atmosphere builds ahead of the clash at the Stadium of Light.
The fanzone event begins at 4pm and will conclude at 10pm on Thursday.
