Background

History

The venue is housed in the former New Bedford Cinema which underwent a £3 million refurbishment project to turn it into a 2,500 person music venue. The venue opened on 26 March 2003 with the band Deacon Blue, Singer Bryan Ferry and girl group Sugababes after 10 years of the building being closed and in disrepair. On 6 November 2008, it was announced that Telefónica Europe (owners of the O<sub>2</sub> Network in the UK) had become the new sponsor of all Academy venues, in a deal with music promoter Live Nation. The deal, which lasts for five years, sees all venues rebranded "The O<sub>2</sub> Academy", in line with Telefónica's purchase of the Millennium Dome (now The O2).
