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!

UK funky is thriving right now and Roska is one of the trailblazers responsible for its continued proliferation across club dancefloors. With releases on Numbers, Tectonic and Rinse Recordings, the Roska Kicks & Snares label boss is a rhythmical champion, serving up the smoothest, future-facing blends of percussive beats and body-rattling sub-bass to boot. Miss this prince at your peril!
