B:Music

You're in Centenary Square, that bit of Birmingham that's had a proper glow-up, and B:Music sits right in the middle of the action. It's the kind of place where you can catch decent touring bands and local acts without it feeling corporate or sterile — there's real energy in the room. The venue's got that sweet spot between intimate enough that you're actually connected to what's happening on stage, but spacious enough that you're not getting elbowed by everyone within a five-metre radius. Whether you're catching an indie band or something heavier, the sound system doesn't disappoint, and the crowd tends to be there for the right reasons.
