What Broadwick Live does

Broadwick Live is a privately held live events promoter and venue operator founded in 2007 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The company produces and hosts electronic music events across a portfolio of controlled London venues, including Drumsheds (the largest indoor electronic music venue in the UK), Magazine, Silverworks Island, Magazine Open—Air, and Printworks (coming soon). Programming spans house, techno, drum & bass, trance, and R&B, featuring world-class headliners such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, FISHER, Anyma, Armin van Buuren, and Duke Dumont.

The core offering is event production and immersive experience creation. Broadwick operates curated event brands — notably BWL Presents and partnerships such as Worried About Henry (UK's biggest Drum & Bass festival), Defected, Elrow's Horroween, City Splash, and Soulection — as well as ancillary services including BWL VIP premium hospitality and BWL Merchandise. Distribution runs through owned ticketing on its website and partner platforms Kaboodle, Resident Advisor (RA.co), Universe, and Dice.fm, complemented by physical venue box offices and direct fan marketing via Instagram, TikTok, and an email newsletter.

Revenue is driven primarily by ticket sales across general admission and VIP tiers (standard events from £16.90+, premium events from £40+). Ticket pricing follows a unit-pricing model with pay-as-you-go billing and some early-bird options. The customer base is predominantly individual electronic music enthusiasts seeking large-scale immersive experiences, with secondary segments for premium event-goers and corporate/private event clients. The business operates at a contained headcount of 11–50 employees and has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors in the available data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Live Nation UK: UK arm of Live Nation Entertainment, the largest global live entertainment promoter and venue operator. Overlaps Broadwick directly on electronic-music touring, festival promotion, and venue partnerships, but operates across a much broader portfolio of genres and geographies.
• Tomorrowland: Belgian-based global electronic dance music festival brand with destination events worldwide. Overlaps Broadwick on the large-scale electronic-music event category and artist relationships, with significantly broader geographic scale.
• AEG Presents: Global live entertainment promoter and venue operator (parent of The O2, Goldenvoice/Coachella). Comparable as a global incumbent promoting electronic and touring acts in major venues, including festival and flagship venue operations.

Regional players

• Berghain: Berlin-based cultural institution and electronic music venue known for its industrial space and curated programming. Comparable as a destination electronic music venue at scale, but operates primarily in a different geography (Germany vs. UK).

Direct peers

• Cream: Liverpool-born UK dance music event promoter and brand (Cream, Creamfields) operating clubs and dance events across the UK. Comparable to Broadwick as a long-running British dance/electronic music promoter with flagship events and recurring venue presence.
• fabric: Iconic London electronic music club and event promoter hosting club nights and label showcases. Directly comparable to Broadwick Live as a London-based electronic venue operator running regular electronic-music events, and currently co-hosts Broadwick's afterparties.
• Ministry of Sound: Long-established London venue, label group, and event brand focused on dance/electronic music. Operates a flagship London venue with curated club nights and branded events — closely mirroring Broadwick Live's venue-plus-events model in the same city.
• The Warehouse Project: Manchester-based promoter producing a multi-week series of large-scale electronic and club events in repurposed industrial spaces. Closely comparable in running large-capacity temporary-format electronic events across multiple venues at scale.

Others

• Resident Advisor: Global electronic music media platform and ticketing distribution partner used by Broadwick (RA.co). Not a direct promoter, but a key infrastructure and discovery layer in the same electronic-music ecosystem Broadwick operates in.

Emerging players

• Boiler Room: London-rooted electronic music platform combining livestreaming with curated live events worldwide. Comparable in electronic-music audience development and event programming, though primarily a media/livestreaming operator rather than a venue owner like Broadwick.
