There are more than 59 gigs happening in Bristol this weekend and we've
managed to collect them all onto this one page. The event listings below
include all the local bands and musicians playing on both Friday and
Saturday evenings. If you are planning on going to any of the larger
gigs and concerts this weekend we strongly recommend buy tickets in
advance from our ticket shop.
We started Headfirst in 2008 and since then we have seen Bristol's weekend
nightlife programme week upon week. Currently Bristol's clubnights are some
of the most diverse and innovative in the UK, ranging from small venues like
Cosies and The Island to larger clubs like Motion and Blue Mountain. The
best of this weekend's club events are below.
“Deep in the forest, a group of restless lumberjacks working an illegal logging outfit plan a winter dance that some will volunteer to attend as women; the broadest, strongest axeman finds himself caught in a rivalry with a pretty, young jack that culminates in jealousy, betrayal and an astonishing spectacle of transition. Meanwhile, in other times and places, the gender apocalypse is brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend; an illicit boarding-school romance surfaces intrigue and cruelty; and a Las Vegas party weekend turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between a thrilling mystery man or a veteran trans woman offering unglamorous sisterhood.”
