    aboutSectionText

    Located in vibrant North London, O2 Academy Islington hosts live music and club nights from established acts looking for an intimate performance atmosphere and new and emerging artists cutting their teeth in the capital. Opening on 19 September 2003 with an immense show from US rockers Alkaline Trio, an impressive list of acts followed in their footsteps onto the stage with Muse, The Cure, Eminem, Beck, KISS, Biffy Clyro and The Script all playing at the venue. AMG developed the 250 capacity O2 Academy2 Islington at the end of 2003, the adjoining smaller space to the main O2 Academy Islington.

    Helpful Security Staff

    The venue is on the first floor in the Angel Central shopping centre in Islington. On the night I went ticket holders were being checked on the ground floor entrance. On seeing I had a walking stick one of the security staff took me up in the lift (rather than the stairs other punters were directed to) and got me a seat in a cordoned off area to the right of the stage. I hadn't made arrangements beforehand (expected to lean against a wall) so happy. Good view but if I had needed the toilet I would have had to get past the whole crowd to the back of venue (and we were right by the bar). The venue has detailed info about access arrangements on its website - there is also a lift accessible area on the mezzanine (balcony) level. At the stage side we were right by the emergency exit.
