Beyond Beacon

More stages. More sound.

Over the past couple of years, you may have noticed our Beyond Beacon shows popping up around the city.

We believe a thriving music scene is what makes Bristol so special. Beyond Beacon is our way of supporting other music venues across the city, as well as unique, emerging artists.

Check out which stages we’re headed to next and the amazing talent we’re bringing along.
