The London Astoria is a music venue at 157 Charing Cross Road in London . It has been run by Mean Fiddler Music Group since 2000. It opened as a Crosse & Blackwell pickle factory and has been a Music Hall and a theatre. It is now exclusively a music venue with a capacity of 2,000. The Astoria is connected to the Mean Fiddler such that the two venues can function as a single venue where needed. By far its busiest nights are the G-A-Y promotions. It has played host to many up-and-coming bands, such as Radiohead 's performance for MTV in 1994, and world famous bands wishing to play low-profile shows, including The Rolling Stones in 2003 , and Oasis 's first performance of their 2005 tour. Blur also played a five-night residency in 2003. The venue plays host to the popular nightclub G-A-Y , which sees many celebrities visit and perform music for the assembled crowd. EXTERNAL LINKS |
