Bag policy and storage at O2 Academy Leeds

O2 Academy Leeds sits in a Grade II listed building that opened as the Coliseum in 1885, drawing crowds for evening gigs and club nights in the city centre. The bag rule is simple: one small bag per person, no bigger than A4, and no suitcases or large bags at all. There's no clear-bag policy, but security searches at the door can include screening of whatever you're carrying.

The venue's own cloakroom takes small items for a fee, though its underground location means no lift access — staff can help if you need it. Priority members get one item stored free.

For anything bigger than A4, the cloakroom won't take it, so a suitcase has to stay elsewhere before you arrive. Outside food, bottles, cans and alcohol are all banned, though medical needs can be arranged with the venue beforehand.

Getting to the venue and Leeds Station luggage storage

Leeds Station is under 900 metres from the venue, so it's the obvious place to leave a larger bag before a show. The station's left-luggage desk is open until 21:00 Monday to Wednesday and until 23:00 Thursday to Sunday, which covers most doors opening around 7:00pm. If you're flying out afterwards, the Flying Tiger 757 bus to Leeds Bradford Airport leaves from the station forecourt. The nearest bus stops are Civic H and Merrion B, both three minutes' walk from the venue. Arrive knowing the cloakroom only handles small items, so anything bigger belongs at the station before you head over.
