Zed Alley

Much-loved tunnel-esque club hidden below street level in the centre of town.


You might not be able to spot it from the street but Zed Alley's home to not one, not two but three regular goth/post-punk/new wave/industrial facing clubnights, as well as serving the LGBT+ community with drag/cabaret, comedy and open mic.

Our recent recommendations for Zed Alley

Sell out warning! Xenomorph is so babygirl! The spooky drag mavericks return with another inspired, out-of-this-world (literally) cabaret. This time, Ghoulboss takes on Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic: expect c*nty extraterrestrial action from an interstellar cast featuring UK drag race star Tayris Mongardi, screamo alien fairy Jordropper and fever dream apparition Anita Waz. GhoulBoss Productions return this August with... Slaylien!

Sell out warning! Night In Athens’ twisted gothic synth-punk and cinematic coldwave meets OWLS’ pulsating EBM for a Bristol double debut of darkwave seduction. Completed by Strange Futures’ glacial electro-punk, this is an essential one FFO: Boy Harsher, Molchat Doma, Lebanon Hanover, Drab Majesty. Coming to Bristol for the first time both London's darkwave sensation Night In Athens and Ireland's electronic post-punk producer OWLS, with support from local synth-punk goths Strange Futures.

Sell out warning! GhoulBoss yassify Wes Craven’s cannibalistic desert horror classic – surely the world’s first attempt at camp Craven!? Continuing their dastardly run of slasher cabaret, a grotesquely talented gaggle awaits you featuring Garbiitch’s gremlin freakery, unhinged jester Razzle B. Dazzled and vocal powerhouse After Shock. GhoulBoss Productions return this June with... The Hills Have Eyelashes!

The Cure and Drab Majesty devotees take note! Sacramento’s Creux Lies are your new fave fix of darkwave dancefloor romanticism and brooding post-punk melancholia. They’re signed to Cleopatra Recs and joined by local electro goths Strange Futures (as if you really needed any more convincing…) Creux Lies Bristol debut with support from Strange Futures

Sell out warning! Caustic Denver sludge-doom greatness, sharing good pals Primitive Man’s cosmic bleakness but with lashings of widescreen melodic atmosphere. Many promoter bonus points for Bile Caster’s unholy sludge wreckage and Wren’s blackhole post-metal sonics; this is a titanic dirgefest FFO: High On Fire, Conan, Body Void, Panopticon, Cult of Luna, Godflesh. Denver doomers ORYX return to the UK after a killer showing at last year's Damnation
