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 and rock music.
Corporation is based 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 Local Authority. The upstairs room is available only during club nights and has a balcony overlooking the lower room's dance floor. In 2013, another room called The Local Authority was established and is opened club nights as extension to the main club and serves on non-club nights as a "mini club".
Weekly club nights are held on Mondays (Monday Corp), Wednesdays (Skool Disco), Fridays (Drop) and Saturdays (Satellite).
Bands such as A Storm of Light, Hammerfall, and Biohazard have played at Corporation. The Resistanz Festival, an annual festival of industrial, synthetic and electronic music is held over Easter weekend at Corporation. Live acts are all-standing vents viewed in either the main arena or small arenas.
Corporation was voted the best nightclub in Sheffield by the readers of The Star, beating The Leadmill by 800 votes.
