Bristol events, clubs, gigs and what's on

If you’re lucky enough to have visited, you’ll know you can always find brilliant events in Bristol.

Bristol's night life is booming in every sense, with a cluster of scintillating bars backed up by a music programme to die for. With a rich cross cultural heritage, it's a city that has spawned talents as diverse as PortisheadBananaramaMassive AttackTears for Fears and Tricky, as well as dance dons like Roni Size and Eats Everything. That heritage bleeds into the city's nocturnal DNA.

While many will have heard of the huge, warehouse nightclub Motion, that’s not all this vibrant city has to offer. From comedy nights to LGBTQ+ bars, cheap as chips student nights, karaoke bars, and underground gigs, there’s something for everyone in this bustling city. And if that wasn’t enough, many consider Bristol the clubbing capital of the South West and one of the best UK cities to dance in. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out all the amazing Bristol events that are going down today.
