As 2025 draws to a close, Birmingham is gearing up for a spectacular send-off with a diverse array of ticketed New Year's Eve celebrations. The city's venues are offering everything from nostalgic throwbacks and glamorous masquerades to high-octane club takeovers, ensuring there's a perfect party for every taste and budget to welcome 2026.
Glamorous Balls and Nostalgic Nights
For those seeking a touch of millennial nostalgia, Albert's Schloss is hosting a 'Party Like It's 1999' celebration. The night will be filled with live haus bands and classic 90s pop anthems. Guests are encouraged to embrace the era's fashion with double denim and cargo pants, culminating in a midnight prosecco toast to ring in the new year.
Meanwhile, Tonight Josephine's in the Bullring Arcade promises a more glamorous affair with its 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' masquerade ball. The event will feature dazzling drag performances by Kenya Knott and a high-stakes competition for the best mask, with stylish attendees in with a chance to win impressive prizes.
Festival Vibes and Live Performances
Over in the creative quarter of Digbeth, Luna Springs is transforming into a massive festival-style venue. Party-goers can enjoy two heated indoor stages pumping out tech-house and garage beats. The experience is designed to be a sensory spectacle, complete with live Ibiza dancers, towering stilt walkers, and a spectacular confetti shower at the stroke of midnight.
Also in Digbeth, Mama Roux's is planning its biggest New Year's Eve ever beneath the iconic arches. A 15-piece crew of musicians and performers will provide the entertainment, with house and disco fans treated to special back-to-back DJ sets and high-energy live vocals throughout the night.
Alternative Sounds and Bass-Fuelled Takeovers
For a more community-focused and alternative celebration, the legendary Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath is hosting a full-venue takeover across its three rooms. Revellers can navigate between different musical eras, moving from 80s indie and 90s club classics to timeless disco hits, all under one roof.
Finally, bass music enthusiasts should look no further than Forum Birmingham, which is set for a major DnB Allstars takeover. This large-scale event boasts a heavy-hitting lineup of top-tier drum and bass artists, supported by massive production. The energy is guaranteed to peak, with the party scheduled to keep going until 4 am.
With this wide selection of events, Birmingham residents and visitors have a fantastic variety of options to ensure their final night of 2025 ends with a memorable bang.
