Description
Join us for our massed rock extravaganza Brum Rocks Live on Sunday 14th July at Forum Birmingham.
With your performers ticket, turn up at 2pm with your instrument or voice, for a rehearsal ahead of the public performance, all abilities are welcome! We will guide you to learn the songs on the day.
We’ll be performing some classic rock hits from local legends including ELO, alongside the world premiere of Birmingham Poet Laureate Jasmine Gardosi’s brand new Anthem for Birmingham.
If you want to brush up on your skills before you attend, why not join a FREE Brum Rocks workshop near you via brumrocks.com? If you are planning to bring an instrument, you must bring this with you on the day. We are not able to provide instruments for use by participants.
Every gig needs an audience, so if performing isn’t your jam, buy an audience ticket and arrive at 5.30pm to watch Birmingham’s biggest band.
Ticket information
Choosing
your ticket
Brum Rocks is a logistical “beast”! To help us out, we need you to book a ticket that matches the way you want to get involved.
For example:
If you want to sing, please purchase a “Singer” ticket, but if you want to come later and watch the spectacle, then purchase an “Audience” ticket.
Further information
-
If you want to play an instrument as well as sing, please book a ticket for your instrument. For example, if you want to play guitar and sing, just book a “Guitar” ticket.
-
We cannot provide any amps for use on the day, so we recommend bringing an acoustic guitar or bass.
However, if you need an amp, you may bring one.
If you can bring a mains-powered amp, it must have a valid PAT test. We will offer free PAT Tests at a Birmingham city centre location (TBC) on a date close to Brum Rocks Live. Any mains-powered amps without a valid PAT test will not be able to be used on the day.
Max Amp Size = 50cm x 50cm x 30cm
If you own a battery-powered amp, there is no need to have a PAT Test; this can be brought along on the day!
-
There is limited space; this being the case, please bring no more than a snare drum and a floor tom.
-
If you would like to play a keyboard, which is not battery-powered, please email brumrocks@misfitsmusic.org.uk, and we will email you if/when specific keyboard tickets become available.
-
Free Tickets are available for those who may otherwise not be able to attend. If you require a free ticket, sign up here.

Please email brumrocks@misfitsmusic.org.uk if you require a free ticket for your carer.
