Electric Factory, Music venue in Philadelphia, United States
The Electric Factory is a music venue housed in a renovated industrial building in Philadelphia that hosts performances and special events. The space features modern sound systems, lighting equipment, bar services, and merchandise stands throughout.
The venue was established in 1968 originally at 22nd and Arch Street before relocating to its current location at 7th and Willow Street in 1995. The move marked a fresh chapter for the music hall in a different neighborhood.
The venue hosts rock, electronic, punk, hip-hop, and metal acts from local and international performers. The variety in musical styles reflects the diverse tastes of its audience.
The space provides good acoustics and sightlines for concert attendees of varying heights. Arriving early helps you find a comfortable spot and get familiar with the layout before the show begins.
After acquisition by The Bowery Presents in 2018, the venue underwent a public naming contest that resulted in a new identity. This rebranding was shaped directly by fan input and community engagement.
