The Loco Klub
Cavernous club hosting experimental theatre in Bristol (as well as music)
Loco Klub's strong ties to local performance troupe the Invisible Circus make it a breeding ground for experimental/immersive theatre, cabaret, dance and music.
With help from Artspace Lifespace (the team behind the Island), this expansive subterranean space of Brunel-built railway arches has been restored to host gigs and live music in Bristol. As well as hosting Invisible Circus (responsible for some of the weirdest and most accomplished theatre in Bristol) - the space has attracted adaptations of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, tunnel-grade techno from local promoters Room 237, and the launch event for Bristol's dedicated experimental band zine the Bristol Germ.
Loco Klub is a boundary pushing gig space in Bristol with history, atmosphere and magic in equal measures.

Our recent recommendations for The Loco Klub
Sell out warning! Raptured modular and swooping synth from Optimo Music’s cyber-electronic mastermind Fantastic Twins. She lands back in Bristol after completely blowing the lid off the Coroners Court last year with her epic brain-rattling techno, acid chug-offs and 70s kosmische-pop. Dress to SWEAT.
PLU with Fantastic Twins at The Loco Klub.
Free entry! Sell out warning! From Janet Kay to the Pop Group, Golden Teacher to Linton Kwesi Johnson - you just can’t talk about UK roots, lovers rock or the punky reggae party without mentioning Dennis Bovell. En Masse schedules in a critical chat between the Matumbi legend and Idle Hands’ Chris Farrell - unmissable for the sound system heads and Slits-worshipping dreads.
An all encompassing talk with Dennis Bovell hosted by Chris Farrell
Bandulu’s dread overlord in rare-as-dragon’s-teeth live mode collabing with EBM acid-dub punkster Autumns!? Can En Masse read the collective Bristol unconscious or something? The cybergoth On U Sound hardware showdown's preluded by Vanessa Bedoret’s avant trip-hop bliss, all totally lost in live AV wonderment.
Transforming the depths of Loco Klub into a place of revel.
Glistening bass futurism from Typeless boss Aloka in a b2b tearout with Mixtress’ relentlessly hi-NRG jungle / hardcore / footwork chops. No_one’s Rishi + local 140 heavies Samba, Glume and Phossa join hands to raise funds for DCI Palestine in a proper CDJ sparring match through percussive club, cyber-electro, euphoric rave, stutterin’ ghetto-tech and back again.
Support the children of Gaza, by doing what you planned to do this weekend anyway...
Hellfish unleashes Deathchant-grade speedcore punktek pulverisers, engulfed in Invisible Circus brain-fried carnie immersive horror. Plus more bassline / donk / breakcore madness from Off Me Nut, Varispeed, Soz Lad and Amen4Tekno rotters - this’ll be Bangface, Boomtown and Beetlejuice all at once.
An immersive Halloween experience with felt melting hardcore, daring performaces and a soundystem that will shake the tunnels to their core!
