BP Pulse operates an electric vehicle charging network and has its largest UK hub nearby.
The venue first opened in 1980 as the Birmingham International Arena and forms part of the larger NEC complex.
BP Pulse already has links with the music industry through its sponsorship of the community music charity, Music Workshop, and CarFest.
