Birmingham International Tattoo will return this February, following the September 2022 event being postponed due to the announcement of Her Majesty The Queen's death.

As an event that features the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force each year, the sad news of the death of The Queen hit all of those involved with the Tattoo particularly hard, as each year the 1,200 musicians and other participants perform in her honour and were due to celebrate her 70 years of service at the Resorts World Arena.

The decision to postpone was made both as a mark of respect for Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family, plus was based on the advice from the Ministry of Defence that the military forces that take part in the Tattoo would be unavailable for any military events that were not connected to the period of mourning, proclamations and the funeral.

The Birmingham International Tattoo will therefore go ahead on Saturday 11th February 2023 at 6pm and Sunday 12th February 2023 at 2pm at Resorts World Arena Birmingham with a special performance that brings together all the usual elements of the Tattoo but also featuring a special tribute celebrating the life of Her Majesty The Queen and her 70 years of service to the Nation and also marking the accession of King Charles III to the throne.

If you already hold tickets for the previous Saturday 10 September or Sunday 11 September dates, these tickets are still valid for the same seats and will be accepted on the door on the relevant day, for example, Saturday 10 September tickets are valid for Saturday 11 February.

Tickets for the Birmingham International Tattoo are on sale at resortsworldarena.co.uk.
