SWX Bristol becomes Electric Bristol

SWX Bristol has launched a new chapter by becoming Electric Bristol.

Owners Electric Group, the venue operator behind spaces such as Electric Brixton and NX Newcastle, has invested in stage production so the Nelson Street venue will continue its legacy of hosting live music and club nights. 

CEO and co-founder of Electric Group, Dominic Madden said: "It's so important that music venues evolve with the times, and we are committed to putting the artist and fan, front and centre of what we do. The rebranding of SWX as Electric Bristol is a natural progression for the iconic Nelson Street building and we look forward to Mike Weller’s unique, curated approach to late night programming and continuing to host all those amazing gigs for which the building is now so famous."

Electric Group’s Head of Music, Mike Weller, said: “The venue’s upcoming live programming includes a diverse range of artists and events, from the much-anticipated Dot 2 Dot Festival to performances by acclaimed acts such as Magdalena Bay, Waxahatchee, Blondshell, Nova Twins, and many more. We have a very exciting programme of club events and I look forward to announcing this over the summer, to launch in September 2025."
