About
The World of Hans Zimmer at Utilita Arena Birmingham on Saturday 10 October 2026 is a fully seated arena concert of Hans Zimmer's film scores, conducted by Matt Dunkley and on general sale. Hans Zimmer curates the production and does not appear on stage in it. Birmingham is the only Saturday on the six-date United Kingdom and Ireland run, and the only United Kingdom date on that run that falls at a weekend.
The World of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension is the touring production built around Hans Zimmer's film music, and Birmingham is its fifth stop. Hans Zimmer Birmingham hospitality here is the arena's own premium operation, which runs from a private suite for up to 14 guests, with its own lounge space and car parking included, down to a seat in one of four named premium lounges. A Saturday is a far easier evening to ask guests to travel for than a Tuesday in Glasgow or a Monday in London.
Does Hans Zimmer perform at The World of Hans Zimmer?
No. Hans Zimmer does not appear on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer, and the production states that plainly on its own site. He is its musical director and curator. The music and the arrangements are his, and an orchestra, a conductor and a group of soloists perform them. Say so when you invite guests.
The clearest proof of it sits in his own diary. Hans Zimmer Live - The Next Level is the separate touring production he does perform in, and its published dates for October 2026 are Singapore on the 7th and Perth on the 12th, inside the same nine days as the United Kingdom leg. It lists no United Kingdom or Ireland date for 2026 or 2027. Hans Zimmer's full profile sets out both productions and which one he is on stage for.
What is The World of Hans Zimmer, A New Dimension?
The World of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension is a touring concert production of Hans Zimmer's film music, presented by Semmel Concerts, Tomek Productions and RCI Global. It is a fully seated show and it is on general sale. It does not stop after October either: the production continues into a second European leg running from 14 April to 17 May 2027, so this is an ongoing show rather than a farewell, though no further United Kingdom date is announced.
Who is on stage in Birmingham?
Matt Dunkley conducts The World of Hans Zimmer in Birmingham. The production names its featured performers, including Carla Chamoun, Gan-ya Ben-gur Akselrod, Nokukhanya Dlamini and Futurelove Sibanda on vocals, with Maya Levy on violin and Amir John Haddad on guitar. Thirteen players are named in all. The production publishes no ensemble name and no musician headcount, and it never guarantees a particular soloist on a particular night, so do not promise a guest a named singer.
Which date suits a group travelling in?
Birmingham is the only Saturday on The World of Hans Zimmer's six-date United Kingdom and Ireland run. The run in order:
- Dublin, Sunday 4 October 2026, 3Arena.
- Glasgow, Tuesday 6 October 2026, OVO Hydro.
- Manchester, Wednesday 7 October 2026, Co-op Live.
- Leeds, Thursday 8 October 2026, first direct bank arena.
- Birmingham, Saturday 10 October 2026, Utilita Arena Birmingham.
- London, Monday 12 October 2026, which closes the run.
All six fall inside nine days. If your guests are travelling from outside the city, or if you cannot ask them out on a work night, Birmingham is the only United Kingdom date that answers both. Dublin on the Sunday is the run's other weekend date, and it is in Ireland.
What time does the Birmingham concert start and finish?
Utilita Arena Birmingham's own listing for The World of Hans Zimmer on Saturday 10 October 2026 publishes doors at 6pm and a 7.30pm start. Both times are the arena's own, and the arena states that all its timings are approximate and can change without notice.
No finish time is published. The arena's position is that running times are usually confirmed closer to the event and posted on the event page about a week beforehand, and the production publishes no running time and no interval length for this show. Plan the evening around the 6pm doors, and treat everything after the 7.30pm start as provisional.
What is on the programme?
No setlist or running order is published in advance for The World of Hans Zimmer. What the production does publish is a credits list of the films its music comes from, and that list is a selection rather than a programme: Pirates of the Caribbean, Inception, The Dark Knight, No Time To Die, Kung Fu Panda 3, Top Gun: Maverick and Barbie are among the titles named.
Treat any of them as likely rather than promised.
What does Hans Zimmer Birmingham hospitality involve?
Hospitality at The World of Hans Zimmer in Birmingham is the arena's own, and its published products show what an evening here looks like. A private suite holds up to 14 guests and carries a private lounge space for hosting, a raised private seating area looking over the arena, and car parking included. A suite can be personalised with a company's own branding, its food and drink packages are flexible, and the arena hires suites for single events as well as by the year.
Below that sit four named premium lounges. The Acoustic Lounge is the arena's flagship, with drinks and dining and city skyline views. The Electric Lounge has its own 0121 bar serving beers, wines, soft drinks and cocktails. The Remaster Lounge and the Frequency Deck both have padded seating with extra leg room, the Remaster overlooking the arena and the stage, the Frequency Deck taking the panoramic view.
What a guest actually gets is set by the named package on top of the room. Premium All-Inclusive carries pre-show dining, unlimited drinks in the lounge and through the show, priority entry and pre-booked parking. Premium Dine & Drink carries a one-course meal, a welcome drink, lounge access, priority entry and pre-booked parking. Premium Unlimited Bar, Premium Lounge & Drink, Premium Lounge Access and Premium Family Park & Lounge sit alongside them. Those are the arena's own products, sold by its own premium team. The same evening shape recurs across classical and orchestral concert hospitality at arenas of this size, where the conversation happens before the music rather than over it.
What is not included?
Several things sit outside a hospitality evening at The World of Hans Zimmer in Birmingham. Travel to Birmingham and a hotel are yours to arrange, and parking comes only with a suite or with one of the named packages that lists it. Hospitality does not exempt anyone from the arena's own rules.
The bag limit and the security screening apply to every guest. Every person and every bag goes through the arena's Evolv Express system, which the arena says lets people enter without needing to stop or empty their pockets, and there is no re-admittance once a ticket has been scanned. Nor can any hospitality arrangement produce a running time the production has not published, a setlist it does not release, or a named soloist on a named night.
Who does this night suit, and who does it not suit?
The World of Hans Zimmer at Utilita Arena Birmingham suits a host with guests coming in from outside the city, and a group that wants a night out rather than an evening squeezed between two working days.
It also suits clients who like film more than they like concert halls, because film music is the easiest way into an orchestral evening for anyone who has never been to one. It suits less well anyone hoping to see Hans Zimmer conduct or play, because he will not be there, and anyone who needs a fixed finish time weeks in advance.
How do I get to Utilita Arena Birmingham?
The arena sits in the city centre at postcode B1 2AA, and four railway stations are a short walk away: Birmingham New Street, Moor Street, Snow Hill and Five Ways. Digbeth Coach Station is about a thirty-minute walk or a short taxi ride, and Birmingham Airport connects to New Street by train from Birmingham International, or by taxi over sixteen miles. A group arriving by rail on a Saturday can walk from the platform to the door.
Is Utilita Arena Birmingham accessible?
Yes. The arena's most accessible way in is the direct, level route along the boardwalk to Entrance E, and the South Car Park has blue badge bays on Level 11 with direct lift access into the building. The North Car Park has blue badge bays on Level 9 and no lift.
Five stand-alone unisex accessible toilets are spread across the concourse, the arena floor and the premium areas, most of them opened with a RADAR key, and a Changing Places toilet with a height-adjustable bench and a ceiling hoist sits on the concourse opposite Block 5. Accessible seating is booked through the arena's own ticketing partner, and an Access Card registered with Nimbus Disability gets you seating matched to your requirements. Full detail sits on the Utilita Arena Birmingham venue page.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends which of the arena's own products the evening is built on. A private suite for up to 14 guests carries a private lounge space, a raised private seating area over the arena and car parking. The four premium lounges sit below that, and the named packages set the rest: Premium All-Inclusive carries pre-show dining, unlimited drinks and priority entry, Premium Dine & Drink carries a one-course meal, a welcome drink and lounge access, and most of the packages carry pre-booked parking. None of them includes travel to Birmingham or a hotel.
Not yet. The concert is announced and on general sale at the arena, but hospitality packages for it are not released through Prestige Corporate Events at the time of writing. This page carries a register-interest form for that reason, and the packages, what each one includes and how many guests it takes will appear here as soon as they are released.
By enquiry, not by online checkout. Prestige Corporate Events takes the enquiry, a member of the team calls back within two hours, and the booking is completed on that call once the guest numbers, the dietary requirements and the arrival plan are settled. Nothing is charged on the website.
By rail, in almost every case. The arena is in the city centre at B1 2AA, a short walk from Birmingham New Street, Moor Street, Snow Hill and Five Ways, so a group travelling in can walk from the platform to the door without a transfer. Guests driving should pre-book a space, because parking is included only with a suite or with one of the named packages that lists it. Full transport and access detail sits on the Utilita Arena Birmingham venue page.
Bags must be no bigger than A4 in size, which the arena gives as 21cm x 30cm x 19cm, with a maximum of two compartments. Rucksacks are not permitted, and the arena would rather you brought no bag at all. Lockers can be booked inside the venue in advance through the event page for anyone whose bag meets the policy. Guests who need larger medical equipment can use an accessible entrance and speak to staff there.
The arena requires under-14s to be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over with a valid ticket, and it does not recommend concerts for children under 5. The show is fully seated, which makes it a more workable evening with older children than a standing arena gig would be.
The arena publishes doors at 6pm and a 7.30pm start for this concert, but no finish time. Its own guidance is that running times are usually confirmed closer to the event and posted on the event page about a week before, and that every timing is approximate and can change without notice. Neither the arena nor the production has published a running time or an interval length for this concert, so do not book a table or a train on the assumption of one.
The arena has three car parks, North, South and West. The West car park is for pre-booked and hospitality customers only, and vehicles over 2 metres in height should use the North car park. Blue badge bays sit on Level 11 of the South car park, which has direct lift access, and on Level 9 of the North, which has none. The arena recommends pre-booking a space rather than arriving on the night.
