What's On at Manchester Academy, Manchester

Manchester Academy is four independent venues all (almost) under one roof, located on campus at The University Of Manchester.  The venues are Academy 1,2,3 and Club Academy.  The original student union building was built in 1957, the Academy in 1990, with Buzzcocks being the first band to play there.  Following a refurb, capacity grew to around 2600 for Academy 1, 950 for Academy 2, 450 for Academy 3, and 650 for Club Academy.

Manchester Academy attracts a varied wealth of local and worldwide artists, including Adele, Nirvana, Blur, Oasis, David Bowie, Bruno Mars, Inspiral Carpets, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga.  It is often referred to as one of the UK’s greenest venues, making substantial steps towards minimising environmental impact and improving sustainability.

Enjoy exciting shows, events, concerts and premieres at these four live music venues.  See what's on at Manchester Academy below and book tickets online.
