Hospitality moves to Brixton Academy, 24 September 2010

Hospital Records has just announced that its most excellent flagship night, Hospitality, is moving to Brixton Academy. This is the London leg's second move this year, having shifted to Fabric last Friday following the closure of Matter.

We've got a while to wait until the next one - Friday 24 September - but this isn't surprising as most promoters take a break over the summer, when everyone's busy with weddings, barbecues and holidays.

Brixton Academy is an awesome venue for live gigs. Lots of promoters use it for club nights too, but I find these don't work so well. I remember being at a rave there years ago and one of the arenas was actually in the entrance hall, which was a bit weird.

On the plus side, Brixton Academy has a capacity of nearly 5,000 - almost three times the size of Fabric. Hospitality has always been a sell-out in the past, so at least this time you won't have such a scramble for tickets.
