The O2 Academy Sheffield is found inside an iconic building in the centre of the city. The building itself dates back to 1968. Initially, it hosted the renowned Top Rank Suite. In 1985, the venue was converted into the Roxy Nightclub. In 2008, after a renovation and refurbishment, the O2 Academy Sheffield was established here. The current venue has a capacity of 2350 guests, and its visitors have been able to enjoy the live music shows of The Prodigy, The Black Keys, Babyshambles and Elli Goulding, to name a few.
