One of the big venues in Dublin, which has played host to some massive names over the years, The Academy venue on Abbey street is set to re-open under new management following an extensive renovation programme.
“The New Academy will be a contemporary performance space that draws influence from the Victorian music hall style. It will equally lend itself to the live music offering the venue is widely regarded for, and a new type of club night to be launched in the coming months.
The new operators aim to improve the customer experience in the venue, with all elements of the refurbishment being geared towards enhanced live music & club events.
The refurbishment will also include all new high specification state of the art lighting and upgraded sound, with a focus on showcasing world class musical talent in the best possible light.
The first phase of The New Academy begins on Friday September 19th, with a guest appearance from Detroit house DJ Seth Troxler”
The new owners are the team behind The Limelight venues, Belsonic and Shine.
Seth Troxler will be the first act in there tomorrow night. So if you’re looking for a sneaky look at the new venue, here’s some teaser images below and you can check out the venue itself tomorrow night.
