The Manchester Academy is the concert venue at the University of Manchester Students’ Union. With a capacity of 1,500 it’s the smallest of the city’s three major music venues, the other two being the MEN Arena and the Apollo.
The Academy is situated on Oxford Road, only 10 minutes walk from the city centre and Oxford Road train station.
Tickets (and a full events listing) can be obtained from Seetickets or Ticketmaster. Both are reliable suppliers.

Review / Comment / Additional Information
A full house was treated to a perfect performance by a band destined for the big time. Playing heavily from last years awesome 'Blackbird' Album, the band rocked Manchester Academy to its core. Miles Kennedy's charismatic & soulful voice was balanced perfectly by Mark Tremonti's blistering guitar attack.
