Sound Academy is the worst venue in Toronto. It's a venue i've avoided for the longest time until I heard that Fall Out Boy was back and was playing a show there. Normally I would've never gone there but I've been an FOB fan since I was a kid so I knew I had to go see them, it was their first show in Toronto in 4 years. Sound Academy has a HORRIBLE location, its on Polson Pier isolated from the rest of Downtown Toronto, its pretty hard to take the TTC there, getting off at Union station and then taking a bus from there.
Next waited outside for 2 HOURS in a massive lineup just to get inside. After that finally got in and I was not impressed, small stage, and pretty bad acoustics. When the show was over walked at least 15-20 minutes to find a cab to take us to Union station.
I will never come back to Sound Academy.
