From huge clubnights and Alfresco Disco NYE to pub back rooms this is the
essential new year's events list.
Around mid November every year the same question is on everyone's lips - what's
on in Bristol on New Years Eve? This page aims to answer that question and
provide complete listings for New Years Eve events in Bristol.
In Bristol there's a whole wealth of exciting nights out on New Years that
frankly aren't available the rest of the year, with this in mind plan your night
carefully and remember that tickets for popular events sell out fast.
Unique options for what's on Bristol new years eve are all listed below.
Bristol's biggest venues like to really up the anti with venues like Lakota and
Motion turning out some of Bristol's most spectacular club nights to date.
Bristol's best bands also work their balls off, missioning around the city
playing multiple new years eve gigs. Unlikely buildings and pubs become one-off
venues - booking bands, selling tickets (typically around £10) and welcoming
ridiculously late licenses. Refreshingly it's these pubs that can provide some
of the best live music and intimate atmospheres to be found in Bristol on NYE
2024. This is the most complete run down of whats on in Bristol on
the 31st December 2024 this side of the Bristol suspension bridge.
Our editor's top live music recommendation
Sell out warning! Unmissable roots, subs and culture with King Original blazing the grime x steppas lineage bright on a truly historical Lazarus-like sound. Footsie and Sir Spyro will be paying their dues to ancestral bass-weight joined by Shaka-grade royalty in earthly form: Dub Judah! Topped by a live desk masterclass from Kibir la Amlak, this will be an ital, vital, dub-wise education for the masses.
Teachings in Dub - King Original, Dub Judah, KLA at The Trinity Centre.
When crate-diggers go to heaven, Votel is guarding those wax-lined gates, sending the unworthy back to Rekordbox limbo with a shake of Earth’s most far-out tropicalia 7”. The Finders Keepers svengali is always set to dancefloor stun-mode: packing vital obscurities from synthwave futurismo to Turkish acid disco to proto-rap afro-funk. Enlightened heads and third-eye adventurists - buckle up!
LA BOMBA PRESENTS ANDY VOTEL at The Jam Jar.
Sell out warning! Club Blanco serves up New Years Day Breakfast with an EXTRA LARGE dose of twisted psychedelia, acid house and low-slung weirdo funk for their morning chug-athon. A tradition at
The Love Inn which must be etched into Bristol folklore by now… this is one for the energy crew!
NYD Breakfast at The Love Inn.
What a way to start the year! The “eastern to top all westerns”, Kurosawa’s samurai epic is a true triumph of filmmaking, combining historical melodrama, war thriller and moral fable across almost four hours of cinema mastery (don’t worry, there’s an intermission - thanks Cube!)
Seven Samurai 3pm at The Cube.
Float into 2025 in paradigmatic Cuboid fashion! Free of any timekeeping whatsoever, this is your midnight countdown-free, super sensual, true NYE alternative: low in stress, lighting and tempos, high in dreamy visuals and mellow DJ performances - inc one-man chamber orchestra Memotone and mesmeric alt-folkist Rozi Plain. And SOUP!
A Beautiful Place Out In The City at The Cube.
Sold out - get on the waiting list! Boot out 2024 in a blaze of noisy, goofy glory with another NYE Louis takeover from the indie scene sweethearts of Breakfast Records! Sweaty hardcore shredders Mould & maximalist noise merchants MP3 Chainsaw will be cranking out the throwback classics in cover band form, alongside a host of label legends on the decks til the wee hours. More like ALT LANG SYNE…? (Sorry.)
NYE At The Louis at The Louisiana.
I'm always blown away by the scale of the lineups curated by Bristol's promoters
over new years. Laurels are not rested upon and all the stops are pulled out.
Motion's consistently immense new year's day line-ups are, without douby, some
of the best this city has ever seen. But for many people, the ideal NYE in
Bristol is a small party with a handful of their closest friends. Bristol
promoters are well aware that small can also be beautiful, so we've listed 5 of
the smallest NYE parties in Bristol below:
“The dress code for the night is strictly black tie, but feel free to add a glamorous New Orleans twist—think feathers, beads, and fabrics that dazzle under the moonlit sky. Join us as we count down to midnight and usher in the new year with a touch of Southern elegance and a burst of festive joy.”
