The O2 Academy Glasgow occupies a split-level building with Art Deco architecture, featuring three floors connected by staircases and six bars spread throughout the space.
The venue opened on March 26, 2003, following a £3 million renovation project that transformed the former New Bedford Cinema into a contemporary entertainment facility.
