The venue will reopen in Spring 2026 with a 1,050-capacity setup for concerts and 1,450 for club nights, joining Electric Group’s existing portfolio of mid-size UK venues, including Electric Brixton, Electric Bristol, and NX Newcastle.

Programming will be led by Electric Group Head of Music Mike Weller, who is working with national and independent promoters, labels, and brands to curate a diverse schedule of gigs, club events, and multidisciplinary shows.

The refurbished space will feature a new d&b audiotechnik PA system, upgraded lighting and production facilities, new bars, improved stage sightlines, enhanced backstage amenities, and full accessibility compliance. The redesign also includes improved audience flow, new staircases, and expanded first-floor facilities.

“Sheffield is a special city, and with Electric Studios we’re committed to a substantial programme of investment, refurbishment, and curation,” said Electric Group Co-Founder Dominic Madden. “Our vision respects the building’s cultural heritage while putting artist and fan experience at the centre.”

Head of Music Mike Weller added: "This is one of the most exciting projects I`ve been involved in, bolstered by the positivity and support from local bands, DJs, and promoters.
