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!

Our recent recommendations for The Croft
Sell out warning! Just play the hits! Neglected self-sabotaging art-punk anti-heroes return to their ‘77 roots with an unbeatable repertoire of vitriolic Peel-approved classics. This might be your last chance to see them behave, with spirited renditions of How Much Longer?, Action Time Vision, and none of that jazz stuff! Essential historical fix FFO: Wire, X-Ray Spex, The Adverts, The Fall.
Alternative TV. 1977-81 'Punk Bonanza' Set at The Croft.
Louisiana singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dylan LeBlanc rides into town with casually sublime Americana, tumbling with gorgeous melodies and arrangements that sigh with Southern Gothic romance. Essential yearning FFO: Kurt Vile, Kevin Morby, Damien Jurado, Hiss Golden Messenger.
Dylan LeBlanc at The Croft.
UK emo revival standouts Mishikui hit the Croft with raw, reverb-drenched atmospherics – think MBV-style wall-of-sound moodiness meeting the muscular angst of Title Fight. This is full tilt catharsis FFO: Superheaven, Movements, Slow Crush, Nothing.
Mishikui at The Croft.
Sell out warning! Dirty South Beatdown dragged screaming from the Florida swamps! Two-Piece lash plenty of homegrown death metal brutalism to their hxc slam in a sound engineered for Croft-sized pits. A violent awakening FFO: Sunami, Outta Pocket, Chain Gang, Madball.
Two-Piece at The Croft.
Cherished local four-piece Shoun Shoun erupt in Siouxsie-summoning battle cries, moody post-punk dirges and goth-cabaret theatrics. Propelled by a punishing rhythm section and thick plumes of goosebump-inducing distortion, this is uncompromising ferocity FFO: Savages, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gilla Band.
