O2 Academy Birmingham is a prominent mid-sized music venue located in the heart of Birmingham city centre. Originally opening as the Hummingbird in 1963, it quickly became a significant location for showcasing emerging rock and pop acts throughout the 1970s and 80s, hosting artists like David Bowie and The Smiths. Following several refurbishments and name changes – including a period as Carling Academy – it became O2 Academy Birmingham in 2008 as part of the broader O2 venue network. The venue features a main room with a capacity of approximately 3,000, alongside a smaller second stage. It continues to host a diverse range of musical genres including rock, indie, electronic, and dance music.
