About our events

Get ready, Birmingham - CBSO in the City is back for 2026!

This summer, we're bringing CBSO in the City back, with free performances from the orchestra across Birmingham's trams, shopping centres, station and public spaces.

CBSO in the City takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, with events from Thursday 27 August to Monday 31 August 2026. Some events are subject to time changes, so please keep an eye on our website and social media for up-to-date information leading up to the weekend.

See you there!
