These are the best Birmingham concerts to spend your student finance on in 2025

Birmingham is a city packed with creativity and innovation. There are so many concerts venues, and even more artists visiting them this year. So, here is the big run down of major artists coming to Birmingham in 2025.

Myles Smith: 24th February

Myles Smith had a phenomenal 2024. From winning the Rising Star BRIT Award, to announcing he will be supporting Ed Sheeran on tour, Myles’ rise to success has been inspiring.

Supported by Kamal, Smith will begin his own We Were Never Strangers tour this month. This show will be held at the O2 Academy on Horsefair, near Birmingham New Street Railway Station.

Unfortunately, this show is sold out, but sign up to his newsletter for exclusive information here.

Teddy Swims: 3rd and 4th March

From performing in a basement five years ago, to busking in Central London with Victory Ray, Teddy Swims is no stranger to hard work.

He will be embarking on the second portion of his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour this March. Swims will be doing a two-day performance, with special guest Cian Ducrot and it isn’t to be missed!

Sabrina Carpenter: 6th March

Sabrina Carpenter has taken the world by storm with her effortless old Hollywood looks, charming personality, and catchy lyrics.

Accompanying her on the Short and Sweet Tour, is BRIT-nominated and So My Darling artist Rachel Chinouriri.
