With a long-standing live music heritage Electric Brixton has hosted The Clash and the Smiths, The Pet Shop Boys and Eurythmics. It first opened in 1914 in the days of silent movies as The Palladium Picture House cinema before becoming live music venue The Ace and then the Fridge in the mid-80s. Today it continues to host music and club nights and is particularly well set-up for live shows. It can hold as many as 1,700 people for receptions or club events and is also available to hire for dinners, presentations and showcases for up to 1,000. A full front of house team (security, box office, cloakroom, bar staff, floor staff, sound & light technicians and duty managers) is part of the hire package. Other notable facilities of the venue are a dedicated catering back-of house room, a vast backstage area, three dressing rooms, a production office and a technical manager for live shows as well as an off-street smoking terrace. It has a late licence until 4am Monday to Thursday, and 24 hours on weekends.
