The south London music venue can continue operating so long as it meets 77 ‘extensive and robust new conditions’.
The south London music venue has been closed since a deadly crush in December 15 last year which killed two people, when fans tried to force entry into a show by Nigerian artist Asake.
The company which owns the Brixton Academy, Academy Music Group , told the committee it had developed new safety measures in an effort to have its licence restored, including stronger doors, a better queuing system and more secure ticketing. When the doors were breached the crowd poured into the lobby towards the auditorium and surged over people who had fallen to the floor.
A total of 165 security staff were used for the Asake show, the highest number the venue had ever used, the committee was told.A police investigation was launched and the Security Industry Authority opened an inquiry into corruption allegations made after the crush. “Over the past nine months, the venue’s importance to the local community and the live music scene in the UK has been made clear.
Florence Eshalomi, MP for Vauxhall, said: “I know how popular the Brixton Academy is and the fondness in which it is held as a music venue.
