Carling Academy Liverpool

The 1,200 capacity Carling 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 Carling 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.
