Carling Academy Newcastle

"Sunderland rockers The Futureheads provided the icing on the cake at the grand opening of Carling Academy Newcastle. But what made it even more special was the venue, restored to its former art deco glory. It seems, with the success of The Futureheads and the reopening of the Majestic, the North East's music tradition is enjoying a revival." - Evening Chronicle

"There could have been no better way to christen the Academy than to have booked the talented threesome of native bands who raised the roof" - The Journal
