The O2 Academy Newcastle is a music venue in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It opened on 14 October 2005 as the Carling Academy, and was renamed for Telefónica Europe's O2 mobile network brand in 2008.[1] The venue is operated by Academy Music Group.

The O2 Academy has two rooms and can host up to 2,000 people for a show.[2] Major bands and solo musicians that have performed in the main room since 2005 include Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Katy Perry, The Libertines, Sam Smith, McFly, Blondie and Amy Winehouse.[3] The upstairs room, officially known as O2 Academy2, is smaller and hosts performances by lesser-known bands.[2] The venue has also hosted club nights, including Dirty Pop, Ikon Live and Alpha.[3][4][7]

History

The O2 Academy Newcastle building first opened in 1927 as the 1,870 seat New Westgate Picture House, showing its first movie - the silent film The Monkey Talks - in October of that year.[5] In 1959 the venue was renamed the Majestic Ballroom, and hosted performances by The Beatles and The Who in the 1960s.[6] It was then a Gala Bingo hall for over twenty-five years until the chain relocated the club to Byker.[7]

Academy Music Group first declared their interest in taking over the building from Newcastle City Council at the end of 2004,[8] and an entertainment licence was granted in March 2005 despite protests from local residents concerned about the noise and anti-social behaviour.[7] The official acquisition was announced the following month, with the venue confirmed as the latest member of the Carling Academy chain of venues.[9]

The Carling Academy opened on 14 October 2005 with a headline performance by Sunderland band The Futureheads and support slots from Kubichek! and Field Music.[6] The opening of the venue was called the "biggest happening on the Newcastle music scene in a decade".[15] In November an Ian Brown concert was cut short after the floor of the venue started to sag, requiring the venue to close for a short time.[10] Newcastle's Maxïmo Park played at the new venue in December, shortly after their international breakthrough with debut album A Certain Trigger.[11] Other performers in the opening months included Natalie Imbruglia, The Human League and Rooster.[12]

In 2006 the Carling Academy was one of the venues for Evolution Festival for the first time, hosting performances by Hot Chip and The Guillemots.[13] The NME Awards Tour, featuring Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, Mystery Jets and Maxïmo Park, also stopped by for the first time in January.[14] Panic! At the Disco headlined at the Academy in April 2006,[15] and The Killers in November.[16] In 2007 Mika performed at the height of his fame, filling the venue with giant balloons, while Amy Winehouse was an hour late for her headline performance in the same year.[17]

All of the Carling Academy venues were re-branded under the O2 Academy name in 2008 through a £22.5 million deal with brand owner Telefónica.[1] As part of the tie-in users of the O2 network were able to buy tickets for shows up to two days before non-O2 customers.[18]

Blur played a surprise show at the O2 Academy in 2009, their first appearance in Newcastle for twelve years.[19] Katy Perry performed at the venue on her Hello Katy Tour in August 2009,[20] and Adele made a much-hyped appearance in 2011.[21] The popular alternative night Alpha moved to the O2 Academy in February 2014.[22] The freehold of the venue was put up for sale by Newcastle City Council in 2015 for £625,000, with reassurances that the operations of the venue would not be affected.[23]

On 14 October 2015 the O2 Academy celebrated its tenth birthday with a ten-band bill of local talents, headlined by the popular Little Comets.[6] Years & Years, The Prodigy, The 1975 and James Bay (singer) also sold-out the venue in the surrounding months.[24][25][26][27]
