In 2001, after a £7 million re-development of the venue by First Leisure Corporation, it opened as Creation Nightclub, but closed after six years in February 2007. The licence was acquired by AMG from Luminar and plans put in place for the new Leeds Academy in November 2007.[6] The venueThe venue itself has a large room accommodating 2,300 guests, including a balcony which can hold 500 people.[9] There is also a basement room for gigs by up and coming bands which will accommodate 400 guests.[9][6] The Kaiser Chiefs opened the venue with a gig on 8 October 2008[10] Some other well known musicians which have played at The Academy have included: Twenty One Pilots, Marina & The Diamonds, Cher Lloyd, All Time Low, Foals, Wolfmother, Michael Schenker, Last Shadow Puppets, Ellie Goulding, The Pigeon Detectives,[10] MGMT, Paolo Nutini, Anthrax (American band), The Proclaimers, Madness, The Fratellis, Johnny Marr, Beady Eye, The Pogues, Deftones, Band of Horses, Slayer, Crystal Castles and Hot Chip.[5] On 6 November 2008, it was announced that Telefónica Europe (owners of the O2 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 O2 Academy", in line with Telefónica's purchase of the Millennium Dome (now The O2).[11] {{clear}}GallerySee also{{portal|Architecture|Music|Yorkshire}}
