Brixton Academy to reopen in April with Nirvana, Oasis and Foo Fighters tributes
06 March 2024
The 02 Academy Brixton is set to reopen with two nights of tribute acts on Friday, 19 April and Friday, 26 April.
In an announcement on social media, the Academy Music Group confirmed it will finally reopen the South London venue after it was shuttered following a tragic incident in December 2022.
It reads: "O2 Academy Brixton will reopen on Friday 19 April with Nirvana UK (tribute to Nirvana) and The Smyths (tribute to The Smiths), followed by Friday 26 April with Definitely Mightbe (tribute to Oasis) and UK Foo Fighters (tribute to Foo Fighters)."
The venue's licence was temporarily revoked when gig-goers Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, and Gaby Hutchinson, 23, died during a performance by Afrobeats singer Asake.
While people were waiting outside the venue prior to the show, numerous individuals tried to force their way into the building, leading to overcrowding and an eventual fatal crush. A third person was sent to hospital in critical condition.
