The Sugarmill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sugarmill, is a live music venue and nightclub situated in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The venue was opened in 1995 as The Stage before being renamed in 1999. It launched its main club night, 'Electric' in 1995. Towards the end of 2007 the roof of The Sugarmill was converted (most likely due to the smoking ban) so that it could be opened up to the public, and now has toilets, a bar (with TV), seating and heated lamps.
In addition to hosting weekly club nights for alternative music fans, the venue has played host to bands of national and international fame, including Stereophonics (March 1997), Daft Punk (February 1998), Biffy Clyro, Razorlight, Terrorvision, Napalm Death, The Libertines, Hundred Reasons, King Prawn, The Damned, Corrosion of Conformity and Clutch.
