About this venue
Manchester Academy is the collective name for four music venues on the University of Manchester campus on Oxford Road, operated as a single business by the University of Manchester Students' Union. Academy 1, the largest room at 2,600 capacity, occupies its own building put up in 1990; Academy 2 (950), Academy 3 (470) and the basement Club Academy (650) sit inside the Students' Union building next door. The rooms often run simultaneous shows, and between them cover everything from arena-scale touring acts down to grassroots and student club nights. Academy 3 and Club Academy are described by the operator as its grassroots venues.
