The Midlands city has seen some stand-out concerts over the last few years – none more so than the final ever gig from local boys Black Sabbath who called time on a career spanning almost 50 years in the city where it all began for them. The original line up played to a packed Genting Arena in Feb 2017, showering the crowd with confetti during the encore.
Birmingham was also the setting for an unforgettable concert from two-tone legends Madness, who played the then Barclaycard Arena in December 2016. Thirteen thousand fans enjoyed the combination of new songs and golden oldies.
In 2022 music enthusiasts looked forward to the likes of US rapper Machine Gun Kelly, house music supergroup Swedish House Mafia and legendary DJ Pete Tong at the Utilita Arena. Last year, the line-up of gigs on offer included Lizzo, Tom Grennan, Paramore, Iron Maiden, Shania Twain and of course, the legendary Peter Kay!
