Catalina Curran Review of O2 Academy Islington
It was great. I went last Halloween to see the boy...
It was great. I went last Halloween to see the boyband band Roadtrip (TV) live and the atmosphere was lovely. Before you get in there is a huge cue outside in the cold but its not unbearable. I think the adrenaline keeps you warm. The staff are nice and up for a joke but according to other reviews, I think I just got lucky on the day. Got in with no problem and all was well after being terrified of something going wrong after binge reading other reviews.
FYI Just a quickie: my only issue was finding the place. Don't rely fully on google maps. It IS on that road in islington BUT in that shopping center.
anyway. I got in near to last, its pretty hard to see or film (which you Could do in the concert I was at) the performers. However, you could still hear and see well and the music was at a good hearty volume. Show was around 2 hours and my feet hurt after but it was WELL worth it. Had 2 other performances with the band I was there to see and both were amazing too. Good atmosphere and great vibe, would definitely go again or recommend, especially to see Roadtrip :P
Downsides and more FYI: they don't take well do you having your own bag unless they check it, no food or drinks allowed but there is a bar inside. I've heard its overpriced but didn't check as I wasn't too thirsty during. Tickets sell out FAST as its a smaller venue so beware.
