An independent music company, born and bred in Brixton
Electric Group is an independent, fast growing & privately owned music venues company
We own and operate some of the UK's most iconic live music and club venues. Formed in 2013, the company has evolved out of the success of our refurbishment and reimagination of the Brixton Fridge as Electric Brixton, now recognised as one of the UK’s leading music venues, hosting world class artists across an eclectic range of genres. In 2017, the company acquired SWX, in Bristol and re-launched the iconic nightclub as a touring standard live music venue and which is now firmly established as the Number 1 music venue serving the South West. In 2015, the Company acquired the Freehold of the O2 Academy Newcastle (operated by Academy Music Group) and in 2017, the Leadmill in Sheffield. Following a £2.5 milllion investment, the former O2 Academy Newcastle reopened in September 2022 as an independent music and club venue, NX.
Electric Group is proud of our venues, our people, the communities in which we have deep roots and we hope to long continue to make a valuable contribution.

Major touring-standard venue with club events that own the city
Electric Bristol is the South West’s leading music venue. A former Top Rank Suite concert venue, launched in 1964 with the Beach Boys and The Faces, the venue has hosted many leading acts since then. Well established as Bristol’s leading nightclub since the 1970’s, the building, centrally located in Nelson Street was acquired by Electric Group in 2017 with a vision of repositioning the venue as a premier touring standard concert venue. With a focus on an outstanding customer experience and a versatile programming policy combining production led major club events at weekends with concerts, Electric Bristol is now acknowledged as the leading music venue in the South West. Boasting a pioneering live program, the venue provides a platform for industry leading artists, including Bombay Bicycle Club, Slowthai, Arlo Parks, Fontaines D.C and Machine Gun Kelly, whilst being an important late night venue hosting leading dance brands including BoilerRoom.
