What's On in Birmingham
Tuesday 27 October 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Birmingham does not do things by halves, and Tuesday 27 October is proof of that. From chocolate-scented mornings and spooky afternoon parties for little ones, to a city-wide evening explosion of live music, stand-up comedy, and Halloween-soaked nightlife, there is genuinely something here for every soul in the city. Wrap up, get out, and let Birmingham do what it does best.
Highlights

Cadbury World - Standard Entry — There are few more joyful ways to spend a Tuesday morning than disappearing into the delicious, slightly surreal world of Cadbury World. A paradise for families, chocolate obsessives, and anyone who needs a hit of wonder before the week gets serious, this Birmingham institution never loses its magic. Doors open at 10:00am — check the website for ticket prices and availability.

Kids Halloween Party — If you have little ones who have been counting down the days to Halloween, The Pavilions Club has them covered with an afternoon party built entirely around their favourite season. Starting at 3:00pm and priced at a brilliant £3–£6, this is the kind of event that turns an ordinary Tuesday into a memory. Expect fun, fancy dress, and probably a fair amount of shrieking — in the best possible way.

The Kid LAROI - A Perfect World Tour — The O2 Academy Birmingham is the place to be at 7:00pm as Australian superstar The Kid LAROI brings his A Perfect World Tour to the city, and the energy in that room is going to be something else entirely. One of the most compelling young voices in pop and hip-hop right now, his live shows are known for being raw, euphoric, and completely electric. Check the website for tickets before they are gone.

Akaash Singh - Generational Triumph Tour — The grandeur of Town Hall Birmingham provides a spectacular backdrop for comedian Akaash Singh as he rolls into the city at 7:00pm on his Generational Triumph Tour. Sharp, fearless, and genuinely funny, Singh has built a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic with his unfiltered storytelling and blistering wit. Check the website for tickets — this is a night for anyone who likes their comedy bold and brilliantly observed.

Tigercub — Brighton noise-rock outfit Tigercub have been steadily building one of the most ferocious live reputations in British rock, and their 7:00pm show at O2 Institute2 Birmingham promises to be a proper fist-in-the-air evening. Expect walls of guitar, anthemic hooks, and a crowd that means every single word. Check the website for tickets, and wear something you do not mind getting sweaty.

Drippin x Halloween - XOYO — When the rest of the city has called it a night, XOYO is just getting started — this Halloween special kicks off at 11:00pm and costs a very reasonable £6–£9, making it one of the best-value ways to see October out in serious style. Expect dark rooms, heavy sound systems, and a crowd that has fully committed to the spirit of the season. This is Halloween done right.
