Papa Roach at Utilita Arena Birmingham: Stage Times, Tickets, Support Acts & Essential Gig Guide

Papa Roach bring their Rise of the Roach tour to Utilita Arena Birmingham on Thursday 5 November 2026, with special guests Landmvrks and Sleep Theory. For fans of the band behind ‘Last Resort’ and ‘Scars’, it is an arena-sized alternative-rock bill with two good reasons to arrive for the supports.

This guide covers published timings, official ticket sellers, entry restrictions and travel planning. Information reflects the official listings available on 6 October 2026; Papa Roach’s individual stage time and the curfew remain TBC.

Key Show Info & Timings

The official venue listing gives a 7:30pm event start. This is not an individual Papa Roach stage time. Support slots and running order are also TBC, so do not plan your arrival around an assumed headline slot.

Tickets

The venue lists tickets on sale through AXS, with advertised prices of £49.50–£62.50 before any applicable fees. AXS also lists accessible-ticket and premium options; check the live booking page for remaining inventory.

See Tickets shows standing at £67.75 (£55 face value) and seats from £61.50 (£49.50 face value), with additional order charges listed. Standing and seated selections appear in the supplied listing, but availability can change. See also states that £1 from each ticket sale goes to CALM.

Use official sellers. If buying resale, stick to authorised face-value listings and check transfer terms before paying; no specific resale inventory is verified here. Our guide to concert-ticket dynamic pricing explains why it is worth comparing the final checkout total rather than the headline price.

Support Acts

Landmvrks

The French metalcore band bring a heavier edge to the bill, mixing aggressive riffs with melodic hooks. They are named as special guests by both the venue and AXS.

Sleep Theory

Sleep Theory combine modern hard rock and metalcore with soulful, melodic vocals. They are also listed as special guests for Birmingham. Neither support’s stage time nor their playing order is published in the available event information.

Pre-Show Pubs & Food

Nearby Brindleyplace is a practical area to look for a sit-down meal, while The Malt House on King Edwards Road is a nearby pub option. Check each business’s current opening hours, kitchen times and booking availability before setting off; no show-night offers are verified here. Leave time to get through security rather than booking dinner against the 7:30pm event start.

Getting There

Address: Utilita Arena Birmingham, King Edwards Road, Birmingham, B1 2AA. This is the city-centre arena, not bp pulse LIVE at the NEC.

• Rail and walking: the venue lists Birmingham New Street, Moor Street, Snow Hill and Five Ways as stations within walking distance. Its supplied guidance does not identify one nearest station; choose according to your route and check the walk to your entrance.
• Tram and bus: check Transport for West Midlands for the appropriate stop, connections and service changes. Event-specific tram details are TBC.
• Driving: use B1 2AA and consider booking official arena parking ahead. The venue says parking is limited.
• Clean Air Zone: the arena and its car parks fall within Birmingham’s zone. Check your vehicle’s compliance before travelling.

Entry, Bag Policy & Security

The arena’s official security guidance recommends bringing no bag. If you need one, the rules are:

• No larger than 21cm × 30cm × 19cm.
• A maximum of two compartments.
• No rucksacks or oversized bags.
• All bags are searched, with security screening on entry.

Allow time for checks, but follow event-day advice about when to arrive: the venue FAQ warns that very early queuing may not be permitted. Check your ticket for the correct entrance. Contact the venue beforehand if you need guidance about medical items or access-related exceptions.

Age Restrictions

• Seated tickets: under-14s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over who also has a valid ticket. Those aged 14 and over may attend seated areas independently.
• Standing tickets: under-14s are not permitted. Those aged 14 or 15 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.

These are the event-specific rules published by AXS and See Tickets. The venue also recommends that under-fives do not attend concerts unless specifically aimed at younger children.

Venue Information

Accessibility: AXS provides an Accessible Tickets option. Raise requirements with your ticket provider when booking and consult the venue accessibility page for arrangements relevant to your visit.

Payment, water and refreshments: current payment methods, drinking-water provision, standard concourse food options and rules on bringing food or bottles are TBC in the available information. Check the venue website before packing.

Smoking and re-entry: check the venue FAQs for current rules. Do not assume you can leave for a cigarette and return.

Getting Home

The finish time is TBC, so avoid booking a tight connection based on a guessed curfew. Check your rail operator and Transport for West Midlands for last services on Thursday 5 November, allowing time to exit the arena and reach your station or stop.

If using a taxi, the venue advises pre-booking and using designated pick-up/drop-off points. Drivers should also allow for queues leaving the car parks.
