A reimagined footprint

Stretching along the harbourside from Thekla to Underfall Yard, the festival’s refreshed layout turns Bristol’s iconic waterfront into a living stage – packed with back-to-back entertainment, dockside moments and maritime magic. View festival areas here.

What’s on

Bringing the best of Bristol’s emerging artists as well as established and international performers across all genres, expect three days of back-to-back entertainment alongside some proper maritime magic with our on-the-water programme. More announcements to come soon! Explore the stages here.
