The industrial-heritage space has been converted into one of the city's major gig rooms, with a capacity reported between roughly 1,200 and 2,000 depending on configuration, hosting touring rock, indie, alternative and electronic acts (the source listing is a Ticketmaster show by The Reytons). Its echoes of the old printing presses give it a distinctive atmosphere for big-room shows.
