In my opinion the Academy is one of the worst venues in the city. It's just behind the Leeds University Refectory.
It's a fantastic building but I've never been to a gig where I've come away happy. I've seen all sorts of different bands there but there is always something bad about each experience. Bad sound, overpriced flat p!ss beer and the capacity downstairs is far too large. In my opinion they should lower the capacity by 100-250 in the standing area.
Christ, I sound like a right old git after that rant.
It's a really strange one with Fozzy. Musically I like what they sound like but vocally it's borderline karaoke with Chris Jericho being supported with his vocals 95% of the time.
Alestorm, Korpiklaani & Heidevolk this evening in Leeds. If I'm being honest I'm only bothered about Alestorm although there are a couple of Korpiklaani tracks I like.
