O2 Academy Leicester: a pilgrimage for music lovers

Part of the award-winning Percy Gee building on Leicester University campus, O2 Academy Leicester does host student and club nights, but anyone can attend a gig at this exciting venue. A short way from the city centre, it enjoys a prime location near the beautiful De Montfort Hall and exceptional facilities that make any event here an experience to remember. In its early years, O2 Academy Leicester saw concerts given by Led Zeppelin, The Smiths and even the Rolling Stones, while in the 21st century it was given a major refurbishment and has hosted everyone from Bastille to Blondie to Babyshambles. Re-opened in 2010, the first concert at the brand new O2 Academy Leicester was an incredible performance by Professor Green; another major event was held in 2011 when local band Kasabian played an explosive homecoming show. Independent arts and music event Handmade Festival is another highlight of the calendar, proving that this popular Leicester venue is as good at showcasing new and local music as it is at drawing the biggest industry names. Whatever it is that you're into, the impressive range of O2 Academy Leicester tickets will include an event with your name on it.
