The 1,200 capacity O2 Academy Liverpool has already established itself as a major player on the UK touring circuit, attracting the same high profile, internationally acclaimed artists already performing at Academy Music Group venues. From rock legends, indie all-stars, cutting edge dance and urban acts, to showcasing the rising talent of the future in the 500 capacity O2 Academy 2 Liverpool, the venue is perfectly positioned to fulfill AMG’s high ambitions. The storming launch night party with local heroes Shack (Thursday 18th September 2003) triggered a taste of things to come and a spectacular diary of events. Ladytron, Violent Delight, The Wannadies, Elbow, Kosheen, The Thrills, Killing Joke Athlete, Electric Soft Parade, Blondie, Lamb, Inspiral Carpets and Melanie C all played exceptional headline gigs in that opening Autumn season. Since then the venue has played host to outstanding artists including Maximo Park, Gomez, The Kooks, Happy Mondays, Dirty Pretty Things, Babyshambles, Hard Fi, Arcade Fire , Belle and Sebastian and Corrine Bailey Rae.
