The O2 Academy Brixton (originally known as the Astoria Variety Cinema, commonly known as the Brixton Academy) is a mid-sized concert venue located in South London, in the district of Brixton. Opening in 1929 as a cinema, the venue was converted into a discotheque in 1972 then was reborn as a concert hall in 1983. It has become one of London's leading music venues.[1]

The Smashing Pumpkins recorded their May 15, 1996 performance, with select songs appearing on the 2012 reissue of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
