O2 Academy Birmingham is a music venue located in Birmingham, West Midlands, England.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the O2 Academy Birmingham's former Dale End, City Centre Core venue was known as the Hummingbird and previously the site of the Rank Ballroom.
In the late 1990s, the venue underwent refurbishment and, in 2000, re-opened as the Birmingham Academy. In 2002, it was then rebranded as the Carling Academy Birmingham.
On 6 November 2008, it was announced that O2 had purchased naming rights for all Live Nation's AMG venues, in a £22.5 million sponsorship deal, lasting until 2013. As a result, in line The O2's branding, the venue became of the O2 Academy Birmingham.
In September 2009, the O2 Academy moved to the site of the former Dome Nightclub located on Horsefair, Bristol Street., formerly 'The Night Out Theatre Restaurant'.The Night Out Theatre Restaurant The decision to move to a brand new venue was decided twofold. The former venue was unsuitable for the needs of a modern music venue and the building complex it resided in, along with the Oasis Centre above, was scheduled for demolition as part of a project called Martineau Galleries. The Used played the last ever Academy listed show at the Dale End Academy. Due to the credit crunch and reduced investment in buy to let projects the Martineau project was put on hold and until early 2013 the location continued as a music venue, the Birmingham Ballroom.
The O2 Academy may refer to one of a number of Academy Music Group venues in the United Kingdom (in alphabetical order):
