Brixton Academy to Reopen with Tribute Acts Following Safety Overhaul

The London music venue, closed since a fatal crowd crush in 2022, meets stringent safety requirements for April reopening.

Brixton Academy, closed since December 2022 after a fatal crowd crush, will reopen on April 19 with tribute acts.
The reopening follows a September ruling allowing the venue to retain its license if it met 77 safety requirements.
The crush at an Asake concert resulted in two deaths and left a third person critically injured.
The venue has implemented new safety measures, including stronger doors and a better queuing system.
Families of the victims continue to seek answers and urge witnesses to come forward with information.
