From arena spectacles to intimate stage performances, Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex upcoming events span every kind of live entertainment fans love.

The stage has welcomed global stars like Elton John, Prince, Garth Brooks, Beyoncé, Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and KISS. It’s also hosted NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games, Davis Cup tennis, the 2022 World Games events, and recurring favorites like Disney on Ice and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

The complex sits within the Uptown Entertainment District, integrates with the CityWalk BHAM urban park, and is adjacent to Protective Stadium — putting dining, hotels, and outdoor experiences steps from your seat.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early, especially for major concerts, NCAA tournament sessions, or popular touring shows. Early arrival helps you secure parking, clear security faster, and get settled in your section before the lights go down.

While most Birmingham–Jefferson Convention Complex events are indoors, weather can affect outdoor activities in nearby CityWalk BHAM or Protective Stadium. If your plans include outdoor time in the Uptown District, check the forecast and dress accordingly.

The complex spans multiple venues with a mix of flat walkways, ramps, and some stairs. Give yourself extra time if you’re moving between buildings, and follow on-site signage to the correct entrance for Legacy Arena, the Concert Hall, the Theater, or convention halls. If you’ve pre-purchased parking, have your pass ready for faster entry.

Venue Navigation

The BJCC is designed for easy wayfinding across its venues. Legacy Arena features a clear 100- and 200-level bowl, clubs, and suites; the Concert Hall and Theater offer orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony tiers. Concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands are located throughout, with ATMs and charging stations available in select areas.

Concession offerings range from classic arena favorites to Southern BBQ, local craft beer, and specialty cocktails at select events. Merchandise kiosks operate during major concerts, sports, and family shows. Because the complex is large and can involve substantial walking, comfortable footwear is recommended, especially if your itinerary includes time in CityWalk BHAM or the Uptown District.

• Review venue policies in advance.
• Consider pre-paid parking to speed up arrival and exit.
• If you’re exploring CityWalk BHAM before or after the show, allow a few extra minutes to return to your gate or section.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the Uptown Entertainment District surrounding the BJCC. CityWalk BHAM offers urban park views and public art, and the area lights up at night — perfect for a quick stroll or photos before you head inside.

Coordinating with a group? Designate a meeting point by venue and entrance (for example, your Legacy Arena section portal or the Concert Hall lobby) to streamline reunion after concessions or restrooms. With multiple venues in the complex, picking a clear rally point helps everyone stay on schedule for Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex events.

If you’re traveling in for a major weekend — like a big-name concert or a tournament — consider nearby hotels connected to or adjacent to the complex for easy access. Planning dinner in the Uptown District before the show can help you avoid entry rushes and gives you time to soak in the district’s energy.

Accessibility

Birmingham–Jefferson Convention Complex is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking in the main garages and lots near entrances, accessible seating in all venues, elevators and ramps throughout the complex, and assistive listening devices available upon request. For major events, mobility shuttles (golf carts) operate from parking areas to help guests get to the entrances efficiently.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
