About bp pulse LIVE

bp pulse LIVE is a multipurpose indoor arena located at One Pendigo Way in Birmingham, within the National Exhibition Centre complex. The original arena opened in 1980 as the NEC Arena, later became Resorts World Arena in 2017, and was rebranded as bp pulse LIVE in 2024. It is part of the NEC Group, which owns and operates the National Exhibition Centre complex, and its capacity is approximately 15,600 at full configuration, with smaller setups used for select concert formats.

The arena hosts primarily concerts across genres, along with live entertainment, family shows, and other large-scale indoor events. Under its various identities, it has welcomed a wide span of major touring artists and remains a key stop on UK arena tours. Its opening season as bp pulse LIVE featured acts including Kasabian and The Corrs.

What makes bp pulse LIVE especially practical for arena crowds is its setting within the NEC: a large events destination with direct rail access, nearby airport-area hotels, on-site parking, and a flexible arena layout built for major touring productions.

Location & Transportation

bp pulse LIVE is located at One Pendigo Way, Birmingham, BIR B40 1NT, GB — within the NEC complex near Birmingham International railway station and Birmingham Airport.

Transit: Birmingham International railway station sits adjacent to the NEC complex, with direct services from Birmingham New Street and London Euston. From the station, guests can use the connecting walkway for a short covered walk into the complex and toward the arena, making rail one of the most practical ways to reach bp pulse LIVE.

Driving and Parking: The NEC complex has extensive on-site parking across its car parks, with access from the M42 at Junction 6 and clear signage from the surrounding motorway network. Parking is commonly pre-booked for major events, and lots can fill on busy nights. After large shows, traffic exiting the complex can move slowly, so building in extra time is worthwhile.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available within the NEC complex. Expect congestion and queueing on the internal roads immediately after events, especially when a full arena crowd leaves at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Several hotels are within walking distance on and around the NEC and Resorts World site, including on-site and adjacent hotels at the complex. Airport-area lodging is also nearby, while Birmingham city centre offers a wider hotel selection a short train ride away.

Venue Navigation

bp pulse LIVE sits inside the wider NEC complex, so understanding the route from the station, car parks, concourse, and arena entrances can make arrival much smoother. The arena itself uses a flexible indoor setup, with a floor area surrounded by raised seating tiers.

Entrances and Access: Main entry is through the NEC complex concourse, with access connected to the wider exhibition centre and Resorts World leisure development. A pedestrian link from Birmingham International station leads into the complex, where signage directs guests toward the arena.

Concourse Levels: The arena has a tiered seating bowl around a general floor area that can be seated or standing depending on the event. Seating blocks are arranged around the arena, with raised tiers providing views toward the stage.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and facilities are available, and the venue and surrounding NEC complex are designed for step-free access.

Getting to Your Section: Signage throughout the NEC concourse directs guests to arena entrances and seating blocks, and staff are on hand to help with routing. Because the surrounding complex is large, allow time to move from parking, transit, or dining areas to your seating block.

Getting Ready for Your bp pulse LIVE Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large indoor arena inside the NEC complex.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile networks can be congested when large crowds gather at the complex. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. The NEC complex is large, and car parks and complex roads can be slow around major events. Give yourself extra time for entry, security, and the walk from parking or transit.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect long walks across the NEC complex between transport, parking, dining areas, and the arena. Supportive shoes make the route more comfortable.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors, but walks between car parks, the station, and the venue are partly exposed to the weather.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Rail access is convenient through Birmingham International station, but the connecting route and complex concourse can be busy when crowds arrive together.
• Know your entrance. Your arena entrance and seating block appear on your ticket, and checking them before arrival saves time inside the large NEC complex.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
