Get ready for an unmissable night of pure R&B royalty as Akon and Ne-Yo take over the Utilita Arena Birmingham on Monday, 4th May 2026. Two of the genre's most iconic voices come together for a showstopping double headline event that promises to be one of the year's most electrifying live music experiences in the UK. From chart-topping anthems to soulful slow jams, this is a concert that will have you on your feet from the first note to the last.
Akon, the Grammy-nominated global superstar behind smash hits like 'Smack That', 'Lonely', and 'Beautiful', brings his signature blend of Afrobeat-infused R&B and irresistible hooks to Birmingham's premier arena. Alongside him, Ne-Yo — the silky-voiced hitmaker responsible for timeless classics like 'So Sick', 'Closer', and 'Miss Independent' — delivers the kind of polished, powerhouse performance that has kept him at the top of the R&B world for two decades. Together, they create a setlist that reads like the ultimate 2000s and 2010s R&B playlist.
The Utilita Arena Birmingham, one of the UK's largest and best-equipped indoor venues, provides the perfect backdrop for this spectacular event — with state-of-the-art sound, stunning lighting rigs, and an atmosphere that is pure electric energy. Whether you're a lifelong fan or simply a lover of great music, this is a night of nostalgia, passion, and undeniable talent that you simply cannot afford to miss.
