The Croft
The legendary home of outsider bands and Bristol's dubstep heyday!
A Stokes Croft icon (formerly The Croft, then Crofters Rights) returns thanks to Music Venue Properties' 'Save Our Venues' Campaign + the team behind The Mothers Ruin, The Colosseum, The Crown and the live programming brains behind Exchange.
The lovingly revamped Croft will hold 140 sweaty gig-goers with a focus on live music - as well as carefully curated clubnights.
The doors will burst wide open on 12 September after a successful fundraising campaign. You can expect 14 beers on tap from local suppliers, 7 days a week. We can't bloody wait!

Dwarde & Tim Reaper are the mightiest morphing production duo hardcore junglism’s seen since Tom & Jerry, no question. Here Dwarde's stepping out solo for another cloud-reaching Croft session - and a huge debut for Canvas crew. Expect impeccable snare science, euphoric ruffage and darkside hoovers mashing your ears in an all-night blender.
Canvas: Dwarde at The Croft.
Corkscrewing jungle mania and turbo BPMs from Blak 2 Future in another heady Croft session.

Blak 2 Future: VXRGO + HEYZA B2B KUSHTEE + JAS MYLA at The Croft.
Sell out warning! This generation's answer to Amy Winehouse, Lucca Mae taps the raw British blue-eyed soul of the much-missed diva, with gigantic Motown revival instrumentals backing her showstopping vocal pipes. She's the real deal, and you won't see her in this small a room again!
A standout talent on the burgeoning London Soul/Blues circuit, Mae channels the raw soul of Sam Cooke, Paulo Nutini and the timeless spirit of Amy Winehouse.
Sell out warning! Funebrarum hath returned, so what’re you gonna do? Just sit there while the 21st century’s most densely foul fog of OSDM wraps its morbid fingers round the Croft? No, you’ll get off your ass, put your gauntlets and battle jacket on, cos you’ve been waiting a decade for this …. one of the old vulgar gods finally stirs FFO: Incantation, Demilich, Convulse, Autopsy.

Support your local post-crooner noise-rockers! Take their hand as they wade through their fresh quagmire of collapsing sludge, sardonic, apocalypse-bating lyrics, and monolithic breakdowns. File Drearleader right next to your fav local doozers like The Rothmans and LICE, or place on your bedroom wall next to those Melvins and Pigs x 7 posters. This band needs your love x
