Bookings are open for 125 Anniversary Concert

2025 will be a very special year for UoB as we celebrate 125 years since the University was founded. We’re busy planning a year of celebrations and you’re all invited! 

A highlight of the year will be a free community festival and open-air music concert on Saturday 21 June 2025 on the Green Heart. With live music covering pop to rock, classical to folk, and everything in between, we’ll celebrate the music of Birmingham and its people. More on this, including ticket news, and other activities will be shared on our dedicated 125 webpage. We’ll also keep you informed on all the usual student communications channels.

You can also help us celebrate our 125 anniversary by sharing your story! Whether it’s a cherished memory, a favourite spot, or a moment that makes UoB special to you, your story is a part of Birmingham’s history. Submit your story by emailing studentcommunications@contacts.bham.ac.uk.
