Following an extensive renovation, Middle Abbey Street will once again be rocking as the ribbon is cut at The New Academy.
The refurbishment covers everything from the Victorian music hall decor to an upgraded sound and lighting system.
The honour of getting the new era started falls to Seth Troxler. The Detroit DJ will be helping the dancefloor get broken in on Friday, before the likes of Royal Blood, Vance Joy and Mastadon darken the doors in the coming months.
