O2 Academy Bournemouth provides a beautiful backdrop for any live performance. Being over 100 years old, early shows came from some of the biggest talents of the time, alongside silent film, opera and even a circus. Hosting many famous faces, including Frankie Goes to Hollywood, T.Rex, and Slade, the O2 Academy features new and upcoming artists including Yungblud, Tom Grennan, Rag 'n' Bone Man, Pale Waves, and JP Cooper. With a capacity of 1,800 and close to the centre of Bournemouth, a short journey from the railway station, and surrounded by cafes, restaurants and shops, it's the place to be!
