Giants Live bring muscle to the Midlands – and you’re invited!

The strongest men in the world will descend on the Midlands at the end of the summer as the Strongman Open and World Log Lift Challenge comes to Birmingham.

Spectators at the Utilita Arena will be gripped, amazed and on the edge of their seats on Saturday 7 September as the world’s premier strongman tour, Giants Live, comes to the city for the first time.

The world’s strongest athletes will compete from 5pm for the prestigious Strongman Open title with impossibly heavy weights being lifted, carried and thrown in five grueling events. The evening’s action also includes the competition to crown the World Log Lift Champion.

The Birmingham event will be filmed by Channel 5 and broadcast over Christmas as part of the hugely popular World’s Strongest Man Series. Tickets start from just £25.

Giants Live, which started in a car park a decade ago and now fills arenas across the UK, is the only way for athletes to qualify for the biggest, longest running, most coveted strongman title of all time: The World’s Strongest Man.

Darren Sadler, four-time World’s Strongest Man competitor and co-founder of the Giants Live Arena Tour, said:

“If you’ve only ever seen strongmen in action on the tv, you need to come down to Birmingham Utilita Arena and see them in person – I promise you, it is like nothing you have ever seen before.

“The strength, stamina and determination of these athletes is incredible and there is no substitute for seeing the record-breaking, shirt-ripping, sinew busting action up-close and face-to-face.

“Whether you’re a family who’ve loved watching captivating gladiatorial challenges on television, whether you’re budding strongmen and women, or whether you just want a thrilling evening out, Giants Live is for you and we can’t wait to bring the muscle to the Midlands this September.”

Giants Live in Birmingham will be the latest event in the Official Strongman World Tour which has already seen them perform in front of sell-out crowds in Sheffield, Leeds and London’s Royal Albert Hall.
