Quite small obviously although it can take about 3,000 if sold out. Accoustics are pretty poor as you'd expect from a sports hall. Sounds tends to be dodgy but Paul Weller managed a brilliant sound there so it can be done. Drinks tend to run out at the makeshift bar before the main act comes on but you can use the proper bar upstairs if you wish. |

Saw the Kooks at the Oasis didn't think it was that bad. lets be honest Swindon is never going to get a decent arena.... maybe a CARLING ACADEMY?

Do we really need to turn this thread into another Carling Academy thread? It's not going to happen.

I ran one for 6 months!
I dont think Swindon is a prime target for the academy music group. They'll go to cardiff and many other places which already have established places running decent sized shows regularly. Probably a university town as well, before coming to Swindon.
Anyway they are no longer Carling academies. O2 academies now.
