The Manchester Academy is composed of four concert venues, located on the campus of the University of Manchester, in Manchester, England. The four venues are: Academy 1, 2 and 3 and Club Academy. Utilized by the Students' Union, the venues are housed in two buildings, the original Students' Union built in 1957 and the Academy, built in 1990. In 2004, after the merging of the universities, the venues carried the "Academy" moniker.
Anti Tour[]
Kylie's first and only performances at the venue were in 2012, where she performed two shows part of her Anti Tour. This was a short run of concerts where Kylie performed B-sides, rarities and demos from her back catalogue; the tour was aimed at die-hard fans, and was intended to be the complete opposite of the Les Folies Tour, using no dancers, no choreography, and in smaller venues for added intimacy with the audience.
