FAQ

Where can I hear electro in the Bay Area?

1015 Folsom, Great American Music Hall, Monarch and Cat Alley Street host the most electro bills — the Top venues list above ranks rooms by upcoming shows.

Is electro the same as electro-house?

Not quite — classic electro is the 808-driven funk/techno hybrid born in the 80s; electro-house is the 2010s big-room sound. Our listings track both under the same roof.

Does the Bay have a retro electro scene?

Yes — electroclash-adjacent nights and synth-driven throwback bills run alongside straight club electro. This guide covers both.
