About O2 Academy Bournemouth
O2 Academy Bournemouth is an outstanding Grade II listed building and provides a beautiful backdrop for any event. Over 100 years old, the venue was built in 1894 by Archibald Beckett and opened on 27 May 1895 as The Grand Theatre and Pavilion. Early shows came from some of the biggest talents of the time, alongside silent film, opera and even a circus. In 1899 it became the Boscombe Grand Theatre, a Music Hall which also hosted singing, dancing and comedy shows, as well as theatre productions.
In 1905 the theatre was re-branded the Boscombe Hippodrome and continued to run as a successful Music Hall until it closed its doors in 1956 and reopened as a Dance Hall called the Royal Arcade Ballrooms. Music fans danced their way through the 1970s when changing trends hailed in a new era; as Starkers Royal Ballroom it saw epic shows from the biggest rock acts before becoming Tiffany’s Disco and The Academy in the 1980s and was crowned Best Club in the UK multiple times. In 1997 the venue became the Opera House, putting Bournemouth on the map as a serious clubbing destination.
