JLS Lights Up Birmingham with Back-to-Back Arena Shows!

JLS, the popular British boyband, is set to perform two concerts at Birmingham's Utilita Arena as part of their The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour. Originally, the group was scheduled to play only on 21 November, but due to high demand from fans, an extra date was added for 22 November. This tour includes 18 shows across the country and follows their successful headline tours in 2021 and 2023. JLS, known for selling millions of albums and producing hit songs, is expected to draw large crowds to the arena.

For those planning to attend, the doors at Utilita Arena will open at 6:00 PM, with the show officially starting at 7:00 PM. The support act will likely take the stage first, warming up the audience before JLS performs at around 8:40 PM. The concert is scheduled to end by 11:00 PM. Getting to the arena is convenient, as parking can be reserved online. The venue is within walking distance of several major train stations, including Birmingham New Street, Moor Street, and Snow Hill. Buses also run past the arena, and for those arriving at Digbeth coach station, it's about a 30-minute walk or a short taxi ride. The arena provides designated pick-up and drop-off points for taxis, making travel easier for concertgoers.

While the official set list for the shows has not been released, JLS has involved their fans in the selection process. Earlier this year, the band asked fans on social media to vote for the songs they most wanted to hear. Although there has been no recent update, the top-voted tracks in April included Hottest Girl In The World, Eternal Love, and She Makes Me Wanna. JLS has promised that the concerts will feature impressive staging and production, creating a lively club atmosphere. According to the arena's website, fans can expect to hear some of the band's biggest hits, such as Beat Again, Everybody in Love, and The Club Is Alive. The support act for most of the tour is Example, a well-known songwriter, rapper, and producer. While his set list has not been confirmed, he has hinted that popular dance tracks like Changed The Way You Kissed Me, Kickstarts, and We'll Be Coming Back will be included. Fans are encouraged to share their stories with BBC Birmingham and can follow the station on various social media platforms for updates and more information about local events.
