No sites, partners or opening dates have been named. CEO Simon Tracey says the London company wants to double its revenue to £200 million within four to five years.
Broadwick, the London company behind Printworks, Drumsheds and Depot Mayfield, is in talks with developers in New York and Miami. CEO Simon Tracey said so in an interview with The Times, according to EDM.com. The Times’ own summary says Broadwick “also has eyes on New York, Miami and Paris.” Tracey also named Berlin and Milan as cities where it is scouting buildings, EDM.com reports. For now, these are talks, not deals. Still, a US venue from the Printworks team would bring one of the UK’s largest warehouse-venue operators into two major American club cities.
What Broadwick’s CEO told The Times
Tracey set out a growth target. “We’ve got a game plan within the next sort of four to five years to double our current revenues of £100 million to £200 million,” he said, according to The Times, via EDM.com. He added that the growth would come “through expansion in the UK and globally.”
His model starts with the building. Broadwick looks for unusual large spaces and turns them into venues, then books top DJs and electronic artists, according to the EDM.com summary. However, Tracey also admitted that finding “unique, large-scale buildings” is hard.
Broadwick runs 24 venues and remains owned by its founders, according to The Times, via EDM.com.
What is not confirmed
Broadwick has not made an official announcement. So far, the only source is Tracey’s interview. Neither he nor The Times named a site, a partner or a date for New York or Miami, based on the EDM.com summary. In other words, a Broadwick venue in either city is a plan, not a project. Broadwick’s own development page lists New York and Los Angeles under venue developments “coming soon”, with no dates. Miami is not on that list. The company already runs one US venue, Brooklyn Storehouse in New York, according to Music Week.
A new Printworks for 2029
Back in London, Printworks closed at the end of 2023 to make way for the Canada Water redevelopment. Now Broadwick is building a “new version” of the club inside that development, with a target opening in 2029, according to The Times, via EDM.com.
Tracey also pointed to Magazine London as a possible model. The Greenwich Peninsula venue opened in 2019 and hosts concerts, fashion shows and exhibitions. He hopes to open similar spaces elsewhere in the UK and abroad, EDM.com reports.
Why Miami is watching
For Miami, the interest matters. A Printworks-style operator would bring a large-scale, building-led format to the city’s club market. The city’s big event spaces are also shifting. On Oct 7, Mixmag reported that Ken Griffin had bought the Mana Wynwood site, home of the III Points festival, and plans to turn it into a college campus. As of Oct 22, Broadwick had not made an official announcement. We will update this story if the company confirms sites or dates.
