Our 2025 Highlights so far!

Spring is well and truly here!

The year is whizzing by, and we can’t quite believe how many shows we’ve already presented. From the enigmatic tones of Lady Blackbird to the complex vocal arrangements of B O D I E S – we’ve witnessed incredible vocalists, unique visionaries, and even a trumpeter crowd-surfing!

You never quite know what you’re going to get at Bristol Beacon. So, here’s a little look back at the special moments we’ve had since the start of the year.
