The O 2 Academy Sheffield (formerly the Carling Academy Sheffield ), is a live music venue in the centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It is a £3m refurbishment of a former nightclub and opened on April 11, 2008.History
In 2007 the Academy Music Group announced that it had acquired the former Roxy Disco nightclub and was to transform it into the "Carling Academy Sheffield". The venue opened on the April 11, 2008, with Reverend and the Makers playing on the opening night. On 6 November 2008, it was announced that Telefónica Europe (owners of the O 2 Network in the UK) had become the new sponsor of all Academy venues, in a deal with music promotor Live Nation. The deal, which lasts for five years, sees all venues rebranded "The O 2 Academy", in line with Telefónica's purchase of the Millenium Dome (now The O 2 ).
There has been some opposition from rival nightclub owners in the area, claiming more licensed premises would be an increase in crime and disorder. However, the police did not support these claims.
Structure
AMG will create two separate performance areas for both live music and smaller club events.
O 2 Academy Sheffield
The O 2 Academy Sheffield includes "a large main auditorium with a capacity of 2,350 and a secondary smaller room, emulating the success of its multi-room format at other AMG venues across the country, to hold 600." It will aim to attract British and international touring artists in the same way that AMG's other venues do.
O 2 Academy Sheffield 2
The O 2 Academy Sheffield 2 will be capable of hosting smaller, up and coming artists or other small-scale events.
Regular Events
The O 2 Academy Sheffield has a club night every Friday known as Pet Sounds (formerly Transmission) starting at 11pm until 3.30am. There is also 2 club nights taking up 2 of the 4 Saturdays of every month. The first Saturday of every month is Brighton Beach(11pm-3.30am) and the second is Electrosexual(10pm-5am). The Sheffield Academy also hosts a student night every Wednesday alongside the national student night "Vodka Nationwide" which will run up to June 2009. The Academy also hosts irregular clubnights such as Gatecrasher and Wax:On and Metropolis, both of which have been very successful.
