Birmingham is the birthplace of heavy metal, a genre forged in the city's industrial heartland by pioneers like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. This legacy continues today with a dynamic live music landscape spanning legendary venues like the Symphony Hall and O2 Academy Birmingham to intimate spaces such as The Sunflower Lounge and Nortons Digbeth. The city also birthed influential 1980s new wave group Duran Duran, reggae giants UB40, and the symphonic rock of ELO, showcasing a broad musical DNA. From experimental sounds at Pan Pan to the soul and jazz nights at The Jam House, Birmingham offers a constant stream of live performances.
