Leading South West music venue SWX has announced that it will be making its highly-anticipated return this September. The club was forced to close in 2021 after it was set alight by an arsonist, in a campaign against Covid passports, but has now confirmed its reopening.
After the blaze owner Dominic Madden spoke of his sadness at the venue being hit by the fire but promised that "the show will go on". And, now the club has excitedly announced that it will be "reopening in style" with a top-notch season of live shows and club nights, and brand new interior.
SWX is a former Top Rank Suite concert venue, launched in 1964 with the Beach Boys and The Faces, and it has welcomed many notable acts since then. Over the years it has been well-established as one of Bristol’s leading nightclubs since the 1970s.
