Blue Man Group to bring world tour to Brum

Internationally acclaimed performers Blue Man Group have announced their first UK shows since 2009 as part of a new world tour, with Birmingham being chosen as the host city.​ ​

The award-winning production, best known for its blue and bald performers, will run from 28 December to 6 January in ICC​ ​Hall One.

Blue Man Group have captivated more than 35 million people worldwide thanks to their ability to transcend age, culture and language barriers. The group’s performances​ ​mix art, music, comedy and state-of- the-art technology to create a celebration of human​ ​connection.

Nick Reed, Chief Executive Officer of Town Hall and Symphony Hall said: “It’s fantastic that we’ve been successful in bringing such a globally-renowned brand to Birmingham and​ ​these shows will once again cement the city’s place as world-class cultural centre.

We were drawn to the​ ​vivid, celebratory nature of the show, which appeals to spectators of all ages and backgrounds. This is​ ​the first time in years that Blue Man Group will be on UK shores and it’s great to offer fans the​ ​chance to see these outstanding performers in action.”

Founded by three close friends Chris Wink, Matt Goldman and Phil Stanton in New York City in 1991, ​Blue Man Group has since grown to include permanent shows in New York, Las Vegas, Boston, ​ ​Chicago, Orlando and Berlin, as well as a World Tour.

Co-founder, Chris Wink, said: “When we first began creating performances centred on this innocent, curious character called Blue​ ​​Man, we never dreamt where he would lead us. We are so honoured to be able to share our show with​ ​the people of Birmingham and beyond.”

Tickets for the event are available now.
