As the London production of Les Misérables celebrates its 40th anniversary this evening Cameron Mackintosh, in association with Nick Grace Management, has announced that Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Miserables The Arena Concert Spectacular is coming to Birmingham in 2026.

Following a record breaking two year run since the World Tour opened in Belfast in September 2024, with over 1-million tickets having been sold worldwide so far, the new dates will mark the end of the official 40th anniversary celebrations of the world’s longest-running musical. Les Misérables last played on Broadway in 2016 and the London production has just entered its 41st year at the Sondheim Theatre.

Les Miserables The Arena Concert Spectacular was developed from the hugely successful Les Misérables The Staged Concert, which played for over 200 record-breaking performances in the West End and the legendary 25th Anniversary performance at The O2. It features an extraordinary new design specifically created for larger venues and an electrifying production enhanced with new set and lighting designs, bringing Cameron Mackintosh’s critically acclaimed production to life on a never-before-seen scale, led by an internationally lauded company and orchestra.

Full casting for the new tour dates to be announced soon.

Les Miserables The Arena Concert Spectacular shows at Utilita Arena Birmingham from Thursday 11 - Sunday 14 June 2026. Tickets go on sale at 12pm on Wednesday 22 October here.
