Good venue for bands also not expensive for tickets seen lots of different bands here I really love the venue

Stuart Millard

I had naff-all mobile reception here on Vodafone. The guy next to me, on O2 had a full 4G signal. Favouritism....

A top live venue in the centre of Brum, though food & drink prices are high. Top up at a good local pub first.

Happy they serve Guinness but the crap bartender served ot with an inch and a half of foam! See which bartender pours it right and make sure you order from them.

Alex Atkins

Worst gig venue in the world. I’ve been to gigs in 7 different countries over the last 30 yrs. I regularly go to gigs in London, Manchester, Brighton, Sheffield, Bristol & Nottingham. This is abysmal

Charming Liars

Be the first to check-in & find Mike (our bassist) for a very special prize at tonight's show!

Becca Gittings

If you're on the carpet, dont stand still for too long or your feet will stick :S also watch out for the men who argued about who peed in the cup lol

David Noble

Crazy place with crazy prices

Rupert Cadell

Doesn't hold a candle to the Dale End version. Same playlist EVERY week and, from what I hear, has been invaded by chavlings.

Becky

£4.60 a pint. Missed the 1st band due to massive queue. Sweaty as dicks. Clueless staff . 40 mins to get coat in AND out of cloakroom. :S

Scott Pritchett

£8.65 for a pint and a half of St. Miguel so my tip would be to not drink here. TIL

Alex Atkins

Utterly shit venue on so many levels but some great bands play here. The Academy 2 and 3 aren't bad.

George Gadd

Pint of carlsberg, 4 quid. Could buy a small bottle of vodka or whisky for that and get pissed quicker

Sophia

this venue is horrible inside, staff are unpleasant, it's difficult to get to, and queues are always horrendous - they need to find a quicker system for getting people inside! avoid if possible!

M K

Expensive drinks, crappy draft beer . Awful phone reception. Seems to be one way in and the same way out after gigs, bit of a crush heading out afterwards.

Are you are a fan of bands like "The Strokes" or "Primal Scream"? Then the best rock and pop venue in town is the place for you.

Sheldon

Go to a gig on Friday and get free entry to Propaganda afterwards!

Jack R

Awesome place

Volcom Entertainment

Don't miss the Riverboat Gamblers , Sum 41, The Black Pacific and Veara here on 11/2!

Stuart Davis

Be warned: a pint of Tuborg on a gig night is £4.05 - though no doubt will have gone up by the time you read this.

mariola romero

Propaganda on Fridays is always a good time!

Adam Moss

Tenacious D

Minkie Captures

Nick Brickett

Mat Collis

Not too bad. Good local guys

Mark Castle

Be careful of Showsec security. They are useless!

ᴡ Alves

Foals smashed it

Alex Atkins

Drinks are overpriced and bar staff are clueless.

Simon Hughes

Propaganda on a Friday night. Cheap drinks , great music !

Fearghal O'Braoin

Hide your chewing gum, security on the door think it's a lethal weapon :)

Simon C

Crap view downstairs. No better than the old Academy then.

Bottled water costs £2.40 so ask for tap!

Aphirat ♡ Suthajitto

Indie night 12-1am

Steve Rushton

Don't stand still for too long, you will stick to the floor

Mike Hyde

As predicted by Stuart-pint of Tuborg is now £4.20...

James Clarke
