Academy Music Group

Academy Music Group (or AMG) is a leading owner-operator of music venues in the United Kingdom. They operate a number of medium sized venues, the majority of which take the name Carling Academy. This name-change was due to the venues being sponsored by Carling. Carling Extra Cold, Grolsch and Coors Light are among the beers available to drink. Some of these academies also contain smaller venues used for less well known acts. These typically take the title 'Academy 2', or 'Bar Academy'.Academy Music Group currently owns and operates the following venues:
