Hotels for Cody Johnson

Country music of the modern touring circuit variety, with a crowd that skews heavily towards Stetsons, boots and pickup-truck anthems sung back word for word. A Sunday evening slot means an early, focused night rather than a late one, so expect a full house ready to go from the opening bars. This is a genre that travels well across the Atlantic these days, and British fans of the big American country sound treat these shows as rare chances to see it performed live rather than streamed. Expect a set built for singing along, not sitting down.

Set right in the heart of Birmingham beside the canals and Brindleyplace, this city-centre arena hosts big-name concerts, boxing and family shows. Its location is a real draw, with waterside bars, restaurants and the buzz of Broad Street all within a short walk. New Street and Snow Hill stations are close, and the wider West Midlands is easy to reach. Booking a central room means you can enjoy the canalside dining before a show and be back at your door within minutes afterwards.
