The O<sub>2</sub> Academy Glasgow (formerly the Carling Academy Glasgow) is a music venue on Eglinton Street in the Gorbals (Laurieston) area of Glasgow. It holds 2,500 people. It was one of two Academy Music Group venues in Glasgow, until the O<sub>2</sub> ABC Glasgow closed due to fire damage in 2018.
It was one of a group of music venues in Britain branded Carling Academy, the best known including the Brixton Academy and the O<sub>2</sub> Academy Birmingham. Since November 2008, the venue has been rebranded by network operator O<sub>2</sub> to its new name, following a new sponsorship deal with Live Nation.
The venue is housed in the former New Bedford Cinema which underwent a ã3 million refurbishment project to turn it into a 2,500 person music venue. The venue opened on 26 March 2003 with the band Deacon Blue, Singer Bryan Ferry and girl group Sugababes after 10 years of the building being closed and in disrepair.
On 6 November 2008, it was announced that Telefónica Europe (owners of the O<sub>2</sub> Network in the UK) had become the new sponsor of all Academy venues, in a deal with music promoter Live Nation. The deal, which lasts for five years, sees all venues rebranded "The O<sub>2</sub> Academy", in line with Telefónica's purchase of the Millennium Dome (now The O2).
