By Issy Packer  Tuesday Mar 28, 2023

Misery Loves Company is the brand new music festival which is launching in Bristol this year.

Taking place on September 30, the festival has partnered with Heads Above The Waves, a non-profit that raises awareness of depression and self-harm in young people.

The festival, with the tag line ‘we’re all sad, so let’s be sad together’, will focus on mental health awareness, diversity and inclusivity.

The alternative festival will welcome headliners Twin Atlantic and Yonaka to SWX.
