Talk:Brixton Academy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

anybody know how the seating works there? circle unreserved and stalls? which is the one that is the balcony and which is on ground level?

The seating works just fine, especially at the standing shows.

[edit] Noted performances

What is the point of an entirely arbitrary list of a handful of the bands that have played at the venue? The Brixton Academy is a major music venue in the capitol of one of the world's great pop music producing nations. Pretty much every major recording artiste in recent history has played there. If such a list is wanted, one would have thought that The Rolling Stones, REM, Bob Dylan, Madonna etc were of greater note than some of the dreary emo bands currently listed.Terwilliger 00:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, if this section exists at all, it should only feature gigs and events noteworthy for specific reasons, such as live recordings for DVD etc.

I have removed it for reasons mentioned above. If someone feels like compiling a more concise list with better balanced content (+44 is listed, but The Rolling Stones aren't? Get a grip :D), go ahead. -mrbartjens 19:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Brixton Academy is the name by which the venue is known. Live albums released since the name change are called Live at Brixton Academy. The website is www.brixton-academy.co.uk. Someone searching on Wiki or an external search engine would be more likely to put in Brixton Academy. The press releases and news reports and ticket agencies all use Brixton Academy. I have moved the article back to the original name. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 21:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
