O2 Academy Birmingham November Gigs

Sunday, November 1, 2026 - O2 Academy, Birmingham

• Static Dress
• Soul Blind
• Holder
• Lover Rarely

Static Dress launch the O2 Academy Birmingham November 2026 run on 1 November, bringing a heavy blend of emo, metalcore and post-hardcore to the main room. The Leeds outfit are joined by Soul Blind, whose alternative rock and shoegaze sound adds dense, fuzzed-out atmosphere beneath the headliners. Holder and Lover Rarely round out the bill, giving the opening night the feel of a tightly stacked club show. With multiple bands pulling from different corners of heavy and guitar-led music, the gig sets the tone for a month of contrasting styles at the Academy.
