Yeah Brixton has always felt like a destination venue for a lot of bands so seen a few bigger acts there. Kentish Town just suprised me recently. Makes sense as you say though with how bad any arena show in any country I've been to actually is.
Funnily enough Beck is one that I'm seeing at Kentish Town which will be two days after he'll have played Brixton Academy. Think one is an additional date. Wouldn't fancy setting up a show at one, taking it down, driving across London and setting up again.
yep, lots of 'big' bands appear to be doing the KT Forum and Brixton Academy, for 1 or multiple nights instead of going for bigger venues (Wembley arena, Ally Pally etc).
I am ALL for this, both the latter venues are miserable.
