All taking place within walking distance across legendary venues such as Rough Trade, The Lanes and SWX, it’s the perfect opportunity to find some undiscovered gems and your next favourite band.
Richard Walsh, Promotor for 1% of One, said; “Bristol is thriving like no other music scene in the country. Despite its heritage milestones that span decades and genres, the community of musicians that call the city home are paving a new path to greatness. All the way through the best of electronica, abrasive punk rock, country pop-genius and the breezy world of alternative guitars; peek out the top-tips for 2020 and I guarantee you that Bristol will be indenting those lists in a very big, very crucial way.”
Completing the line-up will be Squid, Rozi Plain, Willie J Healey, JOHN, Porridge Radio, Talk Show, Peaness, Leif Erikson, Social Contract, Premium Leisure and Be Good with heaps more acts to be announced closer to the date.
