Event: The 2026 Birmingham International Tattoo
Date and Time: Saturday 14th February at 6pm
Venue: bp pulse Live, Birmingham (NEC)
A parade like no other, the Birmingham International Tattoo is Britain's biggest indoor tattoo (a type of military tournament) featuring military and other marching bands, pipes & drums, field gun racing, dog racing, standard bearers, dance teams and much more, including a spectacular Grand Finale with over 1,000 performers.
The Birmingham International Tattoo’s two action-packed performances will take place in 2026 on Saturday 14th February at 6pm at bp pulse LIVE on the NEC campus.
As well as the pomp and ceremony of the marching bands, the pipes and drums, the field gun racing and other military participation, the Tattoo also supports youth bands and local groups including the National Marching Band, cadets, plus dancers from youth dance schools, providing young musicians and local performers with a platform to showcase their talents alongside international performers. Through these initiatives, the Birmingham International Tattoo fosters community engagement and provides valuable opportunities for youth bands and local groups to perform in a prestigious setting.
In addition, the two performances will feature the Parade of the Massed Standards, with standard bearers representing various veterans’ associations. Their participation highlights the event’s dedication to honouring and supporting the veteran community.
