O2 Academy Oxford

Brilliant venue. Stewards were friendly. Bar staff were well trained and efficient. Can highly recommend going here

I don't like this venue very much. They get you in quite quickly compared to others I've been to which is the reason it didn't get 1 star. Otherwise Its not great. The first time I went there a pipe burst from the toilets above and covered the back of the venue in, well you should be able to figure read moreI don't like this venue very much.

The first time I went there a pipe burst from the toilets above and covered the back of the venue in, well you should be able to figure it out. They then cancelled the show. Next, for some reason they don't use the AC much and it got so hot last time I went that I almost passed out from struggling to breathe. My last main concern is the step at the front by the metal barriers. That thing is dangerous! During mosh pits of even a little bit of pushing your feet get caught and you almost fall, the only thing stopping you is that there is no where to fall to as you have people pushed so close to you. All in all not a great venue.

Amazing how it's 2 floors and they can put the heaviest band up top and downstairs whoever's performing wouldn't even have a clue what's going on upstairs
