About This Event

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Ben Folds is set to grace the stage at Birmingham's Symphony Hall on Tuesday 24 November 2026 with his much-anticipated Paper Airplane Request Tour. This distinctive concert format promises an evening of genuine audience engagement, as attendees are encouraged to pen their song requests on paper airplanes and launch them towards the stage. Folds will then curate his setlist on the fly, selecting and performing these fan-chosen numbers. This spontaneous approach fosters a wonderfully intimate and unpredictable musical experience, offering a rare direct connection between the artist and his devoted listeners. The unique interactive nature of the performance is sure to create a memorable night for all. Tickets for this special engagement are available, with prices ranging from £36.50 to £49.
