Exchange
Forward thinking live music venue in Old Market.
Since opening its doors to the public in later summer 2012, Bristol's Exchange has proven itself to be a key player in Bristol's live music music scene. With ticketted events almost every night of the week, Exchange plays host to a wide variety of live bands and styles. That said, the venue's musical programming for bands that sit on the heavier side of the fence (post-rock, math rock, psych) is unrivalled elsewhere in Bristol.
The venue is set over two floors with the larger of the two stages upstairs found upstairs. While club promoters are able to run two concurrent soundsystems, gig promoters and all-dayers use the space to sequence bands and provide a constant programme of music.
Doors for live music events at Exchange are typically 7.30pm, while clubnights vary.

Our recent recommendations for Exchange
Sell out warning! Get yer fill of scuzzy DIY punk across three days at Red Lion, Exchange and Moor Beer… the Punx return with Crass-approved anarcho legends Zounds alongside queercore heroes The Menstrual Cramps, Welsh skate-thrashers Pizzatramp, riot grrrl ragers Pussy Liquor + looooads more TBA.
Bristol Punx Picnic 2025 - Saturday at Exchange.
Sell out warning! Japanese power-poppers Shonen Knife were once Cobain-beloved cult faves bringing girl group sunshine to an era of sour-faced grunge hegemony. These days they’re a 40-year-strong bona fide institution, with a sprawling back catalogue of idiosyncratic rock covers and bubblegum punk bops. Timeless, unstoppable! FFO: The Muffs, The Ramones, Otoboke Beaver.

Sell out warning! Fishstock's 15 band miss-at-your-peril annual gathering. Running red on scuzzy DIY power with local queercore heroes the Menstrual Cramps, 2 tone street punk legends Faintest Idea, Redeemon’s singular ska-metal supergroup antics + way way more.
Fishstock 2025 at Exchange.
You’re finally awake! You hit your head pretty hard there. IPhones? Global recession? 100 Gecs? We don’t know what you’re talking about, but Mike’s mum ordered a pizza, and the new Jimmy Eat World video is playing on P-Rock TV…

If the Powerpuff Girls threw raves we imagine it’d be something like this. No holds barred for Full Power Party Crew’s next euphoric outing with Gullyteen’s high-octane hard dance anarchy and gleefully relentless bassline, dnb and jungle from Sad Spit Sally. Get practising your hakken, it’s gonna be hard and fast FUN with plenty of foam-fuelled antics.
