Corporation, often referred to as Corp by locals, is an independent live music venue and nightclub located in city centre of Sheffield, England. In addition to hosting live music from touring bands, Corporation hosts club nights which play a variety of alternative, pop and rock music.
Corporation is located in the Devonshire Quarter of Sheffield City Centre. The club features three floors containing six bars spread across four rooms: the main arena, small arena, upstairs, and The Local Authority.[1] The upstairs room is opened only during club nights and has a balcony overlooking the lower room’s dance floor. The Local Authority was established as an additional room in 2013 and is opened on club nights as an extension to the main club and serves on non-club nights as a “mini club”.
Many bands and artists, such as Bring Me the Horizon, Lamb of God, Akercocke, Soulfly and Alestorm have played at Corporation.[4] The Resistanz Festival, an annual festival of industrial, synthetic and electronic music was held over Easter weekend at Corporation until 2016.[5] Live shows are all standing-only events viewed in either the main arena or small arenas.
