The Electric Factory is a concert venue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original Electric Factory venue was a converted tire warehouse at 22nd and Arch Streets, which opened in 1968. The original closed in 1973, but was resurrected circa late 1994 or early 1995 and now stands at an actual converted electric factory at 421 N. 7th Street between Willow and Spring Garden Streets. Playing in the photo is the pop punk band The Starting Line. The Starting Line formed in 1999 and is from Philadelphia.
