O2 Academy Sheffield
The city centre's main mid-size gig venue, hosting touring bands most nights of the week.
The O2 Academy on Arundel Gate holds around 2,300 people across a main hall and two smaller rooms, and takes most of the touring indie, rock, hip-hop and electronic acts passing through the north.
It is a two-minute walk from the Crucible and five from the station, which makes it the easiest venue in the city to get to and away from late at night.
