In September 2009, the O2 Academy moved to the site of the former Dome II Nightclub located on Horsefair, Bristol Street.

A dedicated queuing system and box office is also in operation for each room.

This is now a club night spread over all three academy rooms, playing a variety of indie/pop music.

Subculture, a well known metal/rock club which was hosted at the Dale End Academy, moved to the new venue on 26 September 2009.

In the Academy 2 there is standing room only, although there is a raised disabled viewing area.
