Weekly indie and alternative club night at The Sugarmill, billed as the longest-running of its kind in Staffordshire, with drink offers for students.
Electric Fridays returns to The Sugarmill on Friday 6 November, and it's a bit of a milestone for the night: this date closes a run of Friday nights that kicked off back on 16 October. If you've been following it since then, this is the one that wraps the whole thing up.
For those who haven't come across it yet, Electric Fridays is billed as the longest-running indie/alt club night in Staffordshire. The Sugarmill describes it as a genre-bending mix of raw, real and relentlessly fun tunes, and that's exactly what it is — a night that doesn't stick to one sound and keeps things moving. It's built around party vibes, and the drink offers are aimed at students, so it's a good shout if you're looking for a night out that doesn't cost the earth.
Because it's a club night rather than a single act, the music is the main feature here. The focus is on indie and alternative, but the 'genre-bending' part means it's not just one thing — it's a mix of raw and real tracks that lean into the party side of things. It's the kind of night where you're more likely to be dancing than standing still, and the student-friendly drink deals make it easy to stay for a few rounds.

Doors open at 23:00, so it's a late one, and the night runs well into the early hours. With reduced entry and drinks, it's one of the more accessible ways to get a night of indie and alternative music in the city. If you've been part of the run since 16 October, this is the final date of the stretch.
