O2 Academy Liverpool, Music venue in Hotham Street, Liverpool, England
The O2 Academy Liverpool is a music venue on Hotham Street featuring two separate performance spaces. The main hall holds around 1,200 people while the secondary space accommodates roughly 500 attendees.
The venue was rebranded in 2008 when telecommunications company O2 took on sponsorship rights, replacing its former Carling Academy name. This change marked a significant shift in the venue's identity and position in the local music scene.
The venue hosts performances across many music genres, from international touring bands to local artists building their reputation. You'll find different types of shows and musical styles happening regularly throughout the year.
The venue features five bar areas spread across both performance spaces for drinks and refreshments. Visitors can access bars throughout the building depending on which space they are attending.
The two separate performance spaces allow simultaneous concerts with different capacities and technical needs. This means different artists can perform at the same time on the same evening.
