Let's Caper@CityHall

Following the enormous success of Sunderland's first Let's Caper @ CityHall in April this year, organisers have confirmed that the mini-festival takeover of the building will be returning to the city on 27 September for another epic celebration of the region's creative and cultural talent. They'll also be putting on a special festive Christmas Caper in December.

A packed programme will see Smoove and Turrell headlining the music line-up with a DJ set with live vocals featuring their unique brand of Northern Funk playing out in a transformed-for-the-night Council Chamber.

The Caper's legendary comedy section will be hosted by local star Lee Kyle and includes a set from Ben Crompton (of Game of Thrones) at the top of the bill.

And those who enjoyed learning to dance like Michael Jackson at the April Caper will not be disappointed as Andre Viana, joins us for the evening to impart some of those smooth Latin rhythms with his famous Samba dance lessons.

More details will follow of all the support bands, crowd karaoke, fantastic array of stalls, flashmobs, live art, and of course great food and bars, which will complete the line-up for what promises to be another wonderful night out in a brilliant setting.
