About This Event

The O2 Academy Leicester is set to host THE bEAT on October 4, 2026, commemorating a significant milestone in rock music history. On a tumultuous weekend in March 1979, The Beat staged their first performance in Birmingham, the same week as the Three Mile Island nuclear incident. This event will transport audiences to that raw and influential moment through a lineup of performers who will recreate the band's dynamic sound. Fans can expect an electrifying experience as acts bring The Beat's iconic energy back to life, celebrating 38 years since their groundbreaking debut.
