    That list doesn't take into account venues that are the same, but have had their name changed. Those are all listed separately. For example there's one venue in MA that's listed five separate times under different names.

    Okay, sure, but have they ever played that venue four nights in a row (twice)? Have The Rolling Stones played that venue? The Clash? Bob Dylan? Madonna? Iron Maiden? Have there been over 50 commercial live albums recorded there? The Academy is historic af.

    Not trying to argue that at all. Just saying it might not be accurate to say it's the venue NIN has played the most.

    I mean, what are the other contenders? The Joint in Vegas is the only other venue I can think of where they've done more than one multi-night engagement, and it's still behind Brixton.

    I thought about that and glanced through the list and didn’t see any venues that had near enough plays, even with name changes, to exceed Brixton’s 11

    Very unfortunate. It isn't the venue that is the issue, but the security. We arrived late to the NIN show there last year, and security were clearly taking bribes from ticket-less fans to be escorted into the venue. Pretty sure this would result in the kind of tragic overcrowding seen at the Asake gig.
