About Substation
Substation is a warehouse music venue at 645 NW 45th Street in Seattle, in the Fremont area close to Ballard. It works as both a concert room and a club: the autumn 2026 calendar mixes electronic nights with Sam Alfred, Baauer, Jam City, Lumasi and dublon with indie, hip hop and metal shows, and the club sorts its listings by genre. Late club nights usually start at 9pm or 10pm, often after an earlier concert on the same day. There are seating areas inside and an outdoor patio deck, but no table service. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite. Everyone needs a valid government-issued photo ID, club nights such as Sam Alfred on 9 October 2026 are 21+, and bags over 8 inches must be clear.
