NASS and Upfest to collaborate

By Jess Connett  Thursday Jun 1, 2017

Two of Bristol’s biggest and best festivals, graffiti wonderland Upfest and extreme sports weekender NASS, are joining forces this summer to bring street art to the masses.

The collaboration will see the team behind Upfest curating a programme of live-painting at NASS. They’ve revealed that world-renowned artists, including Bristol’s own Andy Council, Fanakapan, Cheba and Voyder, will be in attendance to brighten up the festival in their own unique styles.

Andy Council works on a piece in Totterdown

The one-off pieces will grace the walls, hoardings, vehicles, ramps and pipes around the NASS site during the festival from July 6 to 9, allowing fans to see the process from start to finish across the course of the weekend.

The artwork will be the jewel in the crown for NASS, which also features an unbeatable line-up of music this year, including headliners Method Man, Redman, Giggs, Pendulum and Kano, as well as stars of the extreme sports world who will descend on the site for the weekend.

Upfest returns to the streets of Bedminster and Southville from July 29 to 31.
