Brixton Academy - O2
Another venue that has been putting on gigs for over 25 years. Not especially noted for its acoustics it has an atmosphere that punters like and it's difficult to say why. Entrance and exits are limited and it can feel like a herd on its way for milking, especially coming out.
Carpet stickiness is other-worldly, you really wouldn't want to fall down onto it, but the stage views from the steeply raked balcony are good. Bands like playing here and people like to watch here. Capacity is just under 5,000.
Just over the road from the Tube station, so while you're here, why not look around. Electric Avenue adjacent to the Tube is the cultural heart of Caribbean London. Plenty of good food and drink to be had in the area.
