Manchester Academy

Manchester Academy is a four-venue complex on the University of Manchester campus, owned by the Students' Union and operated by SJM Concerts. Its spaces range from Academy 1, a purpose-built concert hall that opened in 1990, down to the intimate Club Academy, which often operates without a barrier between performers and audience. The complex holds Attitude Is Everything's Silver Standard for accessibility and has programmed punk, rock, indie, metal, soul, and hip-hop since the 1960s.
