Carling Academy Brixton

Itchy review of Carling Academy Brixton

Reviewed by: Itchy

The best live venue in London we reckon. Big, shabby and electric of atmosphere, home of nearly every music lover’s favourite ‘when I saw …’ story.

Lonely Planet review of Carling Academy Brixton

Reviewed by: Lonely Planet

It's hard to have a bad night at the Brixton Academy, even if you leave with your soles sticky with beer, as this cavernous former theatre (holding 5000) always thrums with bonhomie. There's a properly sloping floor for good views, as well as plenty of bars. You can catch international acts of the ilk of Madonna (once), but more likely artists are Amy Winehouse, Basement Jaxx or DJ Shadow.

  1. Foals Concert

     

    16 Oct 2008

    Expansive indie band from Oxford who dropped out of university to pursue a career in music. They are an extremely ambitious art band whose aim is to push the boundaries of traditional guitar music by mixing elements of dance and funk.

     
  2. 18 Oct 2008

    Hard House Academy celebrates 8 years on 18 Oct. With Proteus, Andy Whitby, Cally Gage and more

     
  3. Mighty Boosh Comedy

     

    20 Oct 2008 to 25 Oct 2008

    Two different men. One Mighty Boosh. Following the sell out success of their debut live tour, the funniest comedy double-act in Britain, (NME) Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, return to the live stage with their glorious mix of music and comedy. Back with a vengeance, Vince Noir and Howard Moon will be joined on stage by a profusion of characters from their hit TV show.

     
  4. The Hoosiers Concert

     

    27 Oct 2008

    Emotive pop band from London with jaunty piano and guitar melodies. They are rapidly encroaching on the indie middle-weight league and their biggest hit has been the Radio One approved single 'Worried About Ray'.
