O2 Academy Birmingham Concerts 2026

Super venue. Easy to get to. Watched Camera Obscura who put on a brilliant gig. I'd say 500 capacity in the hall which made it pretty intimate. Easy to get served and decent range of beers. 👌

Great venue. Great location opposite lots of bars and restaurants. Easy getting in. Great view from the balcony. The bars are expensive but we'll stocked. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Would come back here for another concert.

What a great venue. Hadn't been here before, but chose O2 Academy Birmingham because of previous excellent experience at O2 Ritz Manchester (which wasn't one of the venues this time around for the Billy Strings Europe Tour). We are so glad that we made the right decision. All of the staff were absolutely brilliant. All so kind, thoughtful, caring and respectful. In this day and age, it's rare to come across such high standards of customer care. As an "Access" ticket holder, it was important to me that my mobility needs were considered. The lift was a huge help, as I struggle with stairs and the lift attendant was very polite and clearly very disability aware. We had a fantastic view from the upstairs balcony, which was reserved for myself and other "Access" ticket holders and the seats were comfortable too. I would 100% recommend O2 Academy Birmingham, without any hesitation whatsoever !

Great venue! Really nice room in the Academy2 to see Electric six, and it sounded great. Only negative for me was that the drinks prices were extortionate! I had a few drinks in Birmingham before hand and they were considerably cheaper than in the academy.

Confusing queue systems before getting in. Slightly expensive drinks, but overall a decent music venue. More accessible womens toilets would be good for those that struggle with stairs.
