Shall Not Fade Festival 2023 at Propyard
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Raw, bumping house (Big Miz, 1-800 Girls) meets 'ardkore junglist nostalgia (Sully, Samurai Breaks) meets grime royalty (Killa P!) on a lineup that's too big to be contained by the Headfirst event page. Shall Not Fade is a who's who all-dayer of underground dance sonics and the greatest thing to grace all 3 stages at Propyard."

Concept

After a sold out first edition in 2022, Shall Not Fade returns to their hometown Bristol this September for a multi genre outdoor day-event with a diverse line-up focussing around the label’s extensive family of artists, spread across two stages.

Values

Shall Not Fade Festival is committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity. This has been carefully considered through a hand-picked lineup which is representative of their various labels.

The Venue

The festival will take place at Bristol’s newest urban playground Propyard, a multi purpose blank canvas events space that in the last year has hosted everything from the renowned Van Gogh Immersive Experience to sold out Boiler Room events, amongst others. Based in a formerly disused ministry of defense base that allows the organiser free reign, resulting in each event there being different and unique. Shall Not Fade Festival will feature two outdoor stages, one playing host to the parent Shall Not Fade label (focussing on all things House & Techno), while stage two hosts last years DJ Mag ‘breakthrough label of the year’ Time Is Now (focussing on all things Bass).

Food

Shall Not Fade has invited some of Bristol’s most reputable eateries down to provide on-site catering, including Bristol’s favorite sourdough specialists Pizzarova, Smoking Buns and Yard Dogs. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available.

Festival Host

The festival is 100% independently run by Bristol-based record label, store and worldwide music family Shall Not Fade.
