GRAMMY award-winning hitmaker NE-YO and Grammy award-winning multi-platinum recording artist Akon announced their co-headlining Nights Like This global tour - and it's coming to Birmingham.

The tour brings together two generational artists whose catalogs have defined radio, nightlife, and pop culture. NE-YO and Akon will share the stage in a unique, dynamic back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with era-defining hits, sing-along anthems, and club classics.

Featuring NE-YO’s So Sick, Closer, and Miss Independent, alongside Akon’s Smack That, Lonely, and Right Now (Na Na Na), the Nights Like This Tour is a nostalgia rush for longtime fans and fresh excitement to new listeners. From slow jams to club anthems, every night is built to feel like a throwback party and a celebration.

NE-YO and Akon bring Nights Like This tour to Utilita Arena Birmingham on Monday 4 May 2026. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 30 January here.
