Carling Academy Sheffield
In November 2007, Academy Music Group completed the leasehold acquisition of the former Roxy nightclub on Arundel Gate in Sheffield. A large, purpose built entertainment venue, the Roxy has had various incarnations from the Top Rank Suite in the 1970s and 1980s, famed for gigs from The Police and The Jam, David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust Tour in 1972, to The Clash, Killing Joke and Elvis Costello.
Legendary DJ Don Letts was a resident at Roxy's nightclub, representing its cutting edge status as a cult venue in the North of England and in the late 1980s it was known as 'Barry Noble's Roxy'. Sheffield welcomed its chart nights, such as TV's 'Hit Man And Her' (1989) and hit makers of the day including Kylie Minogue.
Plans for the £3,000,000 development include a large main auditorium with a capacity of 2,350 and a secondary smaller room, emulating the success of its multi-room format at other AMG venues across the country, to hold 600.
