O2 Academy Birmingham Birmingham reviews by real event-goers

Review of Nils Frahm

Seen Nils play out live several times. He is phenomenally talented but also real, humble and very engaging. A wonderful entertainer. However the O2 Birmingham is the worst venue I’ve ever seen him in. I know I’ll see Nils live again, but I’ll avoid the O2 Birmingham whenever possible.

Review of Nils Frahm

Wonderful performance but the O2 Academy is the worst venue in Birmingham and possibly the country and maybe even the world. Well done Nils for highlighting their awfulness.

Excellent show with superb dancing and Chris’s beautiful voice! Venue could do with faster coat check and a sloping standing room floor.

Brilliant gig. The acoustics were great. Very restricted view from the back.

Fantastic evening..really enjoyed great music great band and fab dance crew. Venue is dated. Need to slope the floor or raise the stage as it was difficult to see. Sound system was good. Listen to Chris in 24bit..awesome. Enjoyable support too.

Venue was terrible. Queues to the bar were ridiculous. We had to go off site to get a drink. Not enough bar staff.

Review of Beres Hammond & Sanchez

A really poor, cheap promotion which massively compromised the night. It should have been all about the artists not the promoter leaving people outside an hour after doors open and not getting the artists on stage in time so they cannot perform their best. I wish I had got tickets for the Bristol show instead.

Simply Amazing can't wait to go back.

Review of Beres Hammond & Sanchez

Ticket said 9pm start. queued up in a stationary line for one hour and did get into the hall (o2 Academy Birmingham) until 10 pm. Beres didn't come on stage until 2:10 am, Schancez got on stage after 1 am. Beres music and entertainment factor was very mediocre at best. No apologies for lateness. Beres and Schancez sang for just over 2 hours. Given that the night ended about 3:30 we spent the night listening to a DJ we didnt pay to go and listen to, and who spent too much tie talking. Never again, it was a very disorganised event that took paying fans for granted, pretty poor show. if i could ask for my my money back i would
