Undeground stn. It holds 2,500 people, and has hosted bands such as HIM, The Fratellis, The Killers, Velvet Revolver and Dio. It was one of a group of music venues in Britain branded Carling Academy, the best known including the Brixton Academy and the O2 Academy Birmingham. Since November 2008, the venue has been rebranded by network operator O2 to its new name, following a new sponsorship deal with Live Nation.
