O2 Academy Brixton

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.

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