Ticketweb Tip

If you’re heading to a gig at Electric arrive in Brixton earlier as its such a buzzing area and a great place to grab drinks and food. Also, if it’s a sold-out show try and get there slightly before doors so that you can grab a great spot right at the front!

Where can you carry on the party?

Electric usually has events going all through the night especially on weekends, so no need to ditch and head somewhere else. If you fancy a change of scenery though, there are lots of bars close-by.
