Edinburgh ‌​‌​‍Corn Exchange is a 3,000-capacity live music and events venue in the south-west of the city, owned by Academy Music Group. Originally a 1909 grain trade hall, it was restored into a large-scale events space with two big rooms, a concourse and a distinctive rock bar, and now hosts major touring acts across rock, pop and indie. It runs up to 1,500 seated or 3,000 standing — a properly resourced room with full house production, not a grassroots stage.
