It was an amazing night for me. I had been waiting for a long time to see them back in Birmingham again. They are a band that doesn't come to the UK very often, so every time there is a tour, you have to take your chances, and you won't regret it!

Smashing Pumpkins delivered an awesome performance and played a lot of songs from the Melon Collie era. With songs like Disarm, Zero, 1979, Cherub Rock, Mayonnaise and Bullet with Butterfly Wings amongst many other, you're in for a show of a lifetime.

loved olly murs loved take that 🫶 best show going guys when we got there are seats were had a restricted view coz of the stage and ended up sitting on the floor right by the second stage and were basically touching them 😃

Never been a fan & hadn't noticed they were supporting Simple Minds, so seeing them last night was unexpected. Have to say they really were very good. As with all support bands, the sound wasn't great, but it wasn't any better for the main act. In spite of that, Del Amitri played a really enjoyable set. Always liked their 2 or 3 bigger hits, but pretty much everything they played last night was good. My husband, who likes neither Del Amitri nor Simple Minds & was only there for me, thought DA were much better than SM. I was there for SM but this is probably the best support act I've ever experienced. Would consider seeing them again.

Generally a really great show, but the sound system was terrible. I love a live show & expect it to be loud, especially sitting near the front, but last night was ear-drum shatteringly loud and vocals were extremely muffled, so it was almost impossible to understand what Jim Kerr was singing. Fine, if you know the songs, but there were a few I didn't know. Still, Kerr knows how to work a crowd and it really was a good night. Del Amitri supporting was a good start. Never been a fan but really enjoyed their set.

First time seeing Fall Out Boy live. They’re my day one. Favourite band. My sweet cheese. My good time boy. They’re live performance was incredible! Their latest album has a great sound. Seeing their live performance of new and old art has ignited a passion in me that I haven’t felt in a long time… still suffering from post gig blues.

Musically and visually awesome. A fast, packed set with old and new songs, Travis playing drums up in the air for a few songs, and Tom and Mark joking that the gig was in Manchester. Started off with the Blink smiley being slowly and dramatically lit up to music. Me nearly missing the Bored to Death because the venue shit off the near toilets.

The concert was brilliant! I wasn’t a Busted fan (I only knew their earliest music), but originally booked tickets as I’m a massive Hanson fan and I knew that Hanson were supporting. I thought both bands were brilliant and was really surprised that I enjoyed Busted as much as I did- they put on a great show, we’re fantastic live and I really enjoyed a lot of their music. Hanson were also incredible as always! ❤️ Every member of Utilita Birmingham staff that I saw were smiling, happy, friendly and were very attentive- regularly coming to check that I didn’t need anything (I am a wheelchair user). Thank you all for a fantastic evening, I highly recommend Busted, Hanson and the Utilita Birmingham venue as a whole!

Really great show that was marred initially by a terrible sound system that blasted our ears with a painful and very muffled sound, making it hard to distinguish words. It did improve eventually but my ears have never suffered like that at a concert before. Sound problems aside, Elton was amazing. I was a bit suprised by some of the song choices - "Pinball Wizard" was noticeably missing for example. We were reminded throughout the evening that, apart from Scotland & Glastonbury, this was one of his last ever concerts. Despite a sadness about this, there was a strong sense that we were participating in something historic & I know I'll not forget this wonderful night. The music was amazing and Elton's voice as good and strong, as ever, despite his years. He still knows how to put a show for his fans. Just brilliant.

Brilliant!! First, starting with the support act, Jake Shears who was phenomenal!! Extremely talented and managed to transfer his energy to the public before Duran Duran!! Came Duran Duran who were as good as at the start of their carreer. They played their old tracks as well as a few of their new album! The public was on fire!! It's probably one of my best gig!!

Paramore were amazing! We flew to Dublin from Bulgaria, just to see them and were not disappointed. Hayley was amazing on the stage and took the sound problems like a champ. The venue on the other hand was shitty: No wardrobes in cold weather is just stupid. There was more space for the food quarters than for the fans to watch the show. And the sound was just disgusting, with too much base and huge disbalance between the instruments, overall it was too quiet for the size of the venue. It's a shame cause the fans and the band deserve more.

Brilliant show. Rod's energy was amazing. Still got it even at his age. Had such a great time. Only criticism - staff lied about how long before Rod came on after support act so missed the start going to the loo

It started of with much better sound stage in comparison to Evanescence performance. First few songs sounded great - could clearly hear vocals, different drums and guitar riffs. However it started degrading and got to the same poor quality of bass rattling and drowning all other instruments and vocals by the end of the show. At least sound wasn't constantly cutting out like during Evanescence performance

A short, just under one hour show. It was a support show for the awesome Blondie, but this was a double headliner for me. Johnny cruised through his hits and delving into a couple of Smiths classics. All over to quickly, but a solid 3 hours of entertainment made me happy.

They didn’t leave us Hanging but definitely touched by their presence. The line-up was different, but the songs remain timeless. Clem and Debbie are as good as ever and the band did them proud, including the incomparable Glen Matlock. Johnny Marr makes it look so effortless, what a talent!

Had the absolute time of my life. No complaints about the show. It all ran smoothly and unlike most concerts, it felt like an intimate fan event where everyone was happy and having the best time. Looking forward to when she next performs nearby so I can go again.

Great gig - awesome playlist of old and new hits. However, the seats at the arena had to be the most uncomfortable I’ve ever experienced and I go to a lot of gigs all over the country. Not enough leg room and I’m not especially tall. My knees were pinned against the back of the seat in front. View was also partially obstructed which was not mentioned when I bought the tickets. Finally, some utter twat kicked and rocked my seat for most of the gig so we ended up moving and standing. No problem with people enjoying the gig and stamping their feet or clapping but at least do it in time to the music! Stereophonics 10/10. Venue 3/10.

i love the vamps so much, it was my fourth time seeing them (second date for this tour) and i could see them every day for the rest of my life and not get bored they are THAT good. if i could rate it more than 5 stars i would!! x

Great show- performed some of her older songs as well as the newer hits on the ‘Phoenix’ album, from ‘Body on Me’ to ‘Carry On’. Only downside: the time waiting between Moss Kena (last support act) and Rita Ora to come on stage was 50 mins- as you can imagine, the crowd was growing quite impatient. As a regular concert goer, I do respect perhaps meet and greets happened before the show, and that there is always sufficient time between the artists coming on/leaving the stage, but I felt 50 mins was a little bit excessive. Absolutely recommend though, she was brilliant, amazing vocals, choreography, the lot! So if you haven’t got tickets, get some ASAP!

Wow Barry was brilliant still has a wonderful voice and the song choices great. He always gets a warm welcome here I’ve been a fan 39 yrs. Favourite songs were This is my town and Weekend in New England always puts so much emotion into his songs so passionate about his music. Lively numbers like Copacabana get us up to dance. Mandy my friend thank you and Mark her fella loved it too. Collabro were a good support act too.
