Introduction

Get ready, Birmingham! The legendary Kasabian are set to electrify the Utilita Arena on Friday, 11th December 2026. Known for their anthemic tunes and electrifying live performances, the Leicester rockers are bringing their signature sound to the heart of the West Midlands for what promises to be a night of pure rock and roll mayhem.

About the Artist

Kasabian, a name synonymous with stadium-filling anthems and unadulterated energy, have carved a unique path in the British music scene. Since their formation in Leicester in 1997, the band has consistently delivered a potent blend of indie rock, electronic beats, and psychedelic influences. Their self-titled debut album in 2004 immediately announced their arrival, but it was subsequent releases like 'Empire' (2006), 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' (2009), and the chart-topping 'Velociraptor!' (2011) that cemented their status as national treasures. Hits like 'Fire', 'Club Foot', 'LSF (Lost Souls Forever)', and 'Underdog' have become ingrained in the collective consciousness, soundtracking countless festivals and unforgettable nights out. Their live shows are renowned for their raw power, infectious stage presence, and the sheer joy they bring to their devoted fanbase. Expect a setlist packed with fan favourites and possibly some new material, all delivered with the trademark Kasabian swagger.

Easily accessible and equipped to host major touring acts, it boasts a large capacity designed to create an intimate yet powerful atmosphere for rock concerts.

Its central location means it's surrounded by a wealth of amenities, making it an ideal spot for a pre-gig meal or a post-show debrief.

What to Expect

Prepare for a sonic assault of epic proportions. Kasabian are not a band to hold back, and their live performances are a testament to their enduring appeal. Expect a high-energy set that will have you singing along to every word. From the driving beats of 'Underdog' to the anthemic chorus of 'Fire', the band delivers a masterclass in crowd-pleasing rock. Serge Pizzorno's charismatic stage presence, combined with the band's tight musicianship, creates an electrifying atmosphere that is truly infectious. Visuals are often a key component of their shows, adding another layer to the sensory experience. This isn't just a concert; it's an event, a celebration of a band that has consistently delivered the goods for over two decades.
