A parade unlike any other, the 2026 Birmingham International Tattoo brings together massed marching bands, pipes and drums, and exciting displays including the Inter-Service Field Gun Competition, dog-racing during the British Flyball Association competition, plus massed dancers. They will all join forces for over three hours of pageantry and spectacle in the comfort of Resorts World Arena, soon to be bp pulse LIVE which is easily accessible on the NEC campus.

The Birmingham Tattoo would not be complete without the ever-popular Spectacular Grand Finale. Featuring over 1,200 performers, including the Parade of the Massed Standards, the Tattoo will certainly be cause for plenty of celebration and pride. The event includes the traditional “Land of Hope and Glory”, “The Evening Hymn”, led by the Tattoo guest vocalists, and joined by “The Lone Piper” in this fantastic celebration of pomp and pageantry.

Whether you prefer the massed marching bands, the skirl of the pipes and drums, the fast-paced action of the field gun or the flyball dog races, or the pomp and pageantry of the massed standard bearers, there is something for all the family at the 2026 Birmingham International Tattoo.

£1 gross per ticket will be donated to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund which for more than 100 years has been supporting members of the RAF Family through thick and thin providing practical, emotional, and financial support whenever they need it. To learn more, visit www.rafbf.org
