Our 2026 performers

This year's Sunderland Young Achievers' Awards were packed with fantastic performances from children and young people from across the city. Their energy, talent and enthusiasm helped make the night truly special — bringing the whole celebration to life.

When we put out our call for performers, we were overwhelmed by the number of young people eager to get involved. Every single applicant had something amazing to offer, and choosing who would appear on stage was no easy task. The performers featured on the night were selected to showcase just how much talent and creativity we have across Sunderland.

A huge thank‑you to every performer for making the event unforgettable.
