Lillehamring Posted 16 June 2010 Share Posted 16 June 2010 but Tim said there was room for The Auditorium as well. "We're promoting to a different audience," he said "Leicester's big enough for us both to book big acts." brilliant, finally someone in leicester that's prepared to push the city forward rather than the usually like-for-like cop outs...

MattyFromLE Posted 14 July 2010 Share Posted 14 July 2010 typical, leicester has just got so unambitious - as i said in the O2 thread, leicester is crying out for more venues and really needs one in town... shame. We've got new venues 1 - The Soundhouse - Southampton Street, Nr Leicester Mercury Building 2 - The Auditorium - Played its first night on Saturday [my band played] Not bad, just needs a lot of work appearance wise. 3 - O2 academy will be opening 3 Venues in 1. 1500 Capacity for the big block booked tours, a 500 Capacity for the smaller/newer artists and a 250 capacity, hopefully that local bands can support breakthrough acts, Hope this helps!

Lillehamring Posted 17 July 2010 Share Posted 17 July 2010 We've got new venues 1 - The Soundhouse - Southampton Street, Nr Leicester Mercury Building 2 - The Auditorium - Played its first night on Saturday [my band played] Not bad, just needs a lot of work appearance wise. 3 - O2 academy will be opening 3 Venues in 1. 1500 Capacity for the big block booked tours, a 500 Capacity for the smaller/newer artists and a 250 capacity, hopefully that local bands can support breakthrough acts, Hope this helps! i was back in leicester last week and it seems to have gone insane, with so many people putting on gigs now, even the Orange Tree seemed to have some bands playing. what's the soundhouse like? also drove past where the spread eagle used to be, still just a carpark, what a shame, with the renewed interest in leicester it would have been an ideal spot...
