It isn’t what you’d expect to see at the home of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, but the Birmingham Hippodrome is opening up its doors to its very first International Hip Hop Festival.

The Hippodrome foyers will be transformed into the world of Hip Hop with b-boys battling, poppers, lockers and jazz funkdancers, turntables and DJs on 15th and 16th May from 6pm. The main stage event starts at 8pm.
