Bristol Takeover, our annual one-day festival celebrating Bristol’s vibrant and diverse music scene returns this November as we continue to champion the best of Bristol’s emerging talent.
Bristol’s most exciting artists and established acts will take over three of Bristol Beacon’s stages – Bridgehouse, Lantern Hall and the Weston Stage in our Cellars- for a free day-to-night festival spanning a wide range of genres and musical styles.
Bristol Takeover is a chance to experience the beating heart of Bristol’s music scene in one fell swoop, all under one roof – discover the new sounds of the city or fall in love with your favourite band all over again.
