O2 Academy Brixton is widely considered to be London's flagship live music venue, that's even above the world famous O2 Arena in Greenwich. But what makes this iconic venue so important to London? 

Perhaps it's the fact that this Brixton cornerstone has been at the heart of live music in London since it opened in 1983, playing host to the worlds biggest bands as they make their ascent to legendary status. Ask any act about playing at The O2 Academy in Brixton and they'll surely bombard you with accolades about playing a stage that has been home to Oasis, Blur, The Libertines, The Strokes and many more!

Better still ask NME Magazine who have voted the 5,000 capacity venue "Best Venue" in all of the UK no less than twelve times. The classic Victorian style ballroom décor makes for an atmospheric experience at The O2 Academy Brixton and it's famous for more than just music in South London, check out the regular listings for club nights and much more.
