There is some gear that should come standard with every music venue so you get the best possible sound for the audience. First and foremost, every venue should come with a professional sound system so you will be heard loud and clear. Depending on the size of the space, the person working the soundboard may mic up your amps, but this is not always necessary. A professional sound system is useless unless there is a live audio engineer to work with you, so this is imperative. Outside of this, be sure that there is enough space for everyone but not too much space that your show seems empty.

There are plenty of great music venues all over Birmingham. Of course, you are going to find some great music venues in the city centre. If you are worried about parking and loading gear into the venue for your big show, then places like Digbeth will be great for your performance, as it is less congested and you still have plenty of great public transport options available for your guests to get to the performance.
