The O2 Academy Brixton is no stranger to big-name performers, so it makes sense that it is one of London’s most famed music venues.
The Academy was once a cinema and theater in the 1920s, but since its re-opening in 1983 it has functioned primarily as a concert space. The venue has also been used for rehearsals and music video shoots for a number of rock legends. The Academy Music Group, which runs the Brixton Academy, hosts club nights as well.
Past performers at the Academy Brixton include Madonna, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols. Even more astounding than the presence of these iconic stars is the fact that the Academy has been named New Musical Express’ “Venue of the Year” 12 times at their annual awards show.
The capacity of the O2 Academy Brixton is just under 5,000 people, and the venue includes a standing floor section where enthused fans can get a little rowdy and dance to the rhythm of the music.
