The Croft
The legendary home of outsider bands and Bristol's dubstep heyday!
A Stokes Croft icon (formerly The Croft, then Crofters Rights) returns thanks to Music Venue Properties' 'Save Our Venues' Campaign + the team behind The Mothers Ruin, The Colosseum, The Crown and the live programming brains behind Exchange.
The lovingly revamped Croft will hold 140 sweaty gig-goers with a focus on live music - as well as carefully curated clubnights.
The doors will burst wide open on 12 September after a successful fundraising campaign. You can expect 14 beers on tap from local suppliers, 7 days a week. We can't bloody wait!

Our recent recommendations for The Croft
Sell out warning! It’s gonna get slippery and sweaty up in The Croft as queer bass rabble-rouser and pastel de nata connoisseur Grove brings power and NRG for this intimate headline show. Sensual mutant dykehall, radical resistance anthems and industrial-jazz-punk moshing awaits.
Grove at The Croft.
Sell out warning! Just play the hits! Neglected self-sabotaging art-punk anti-heroes return to their ‘77 roots with an unbeatable repertoire of vitriolic Peel-approved classics. This might be your last chance to see them behave, with spirited renditions of How Much Longer?, Action Time Vision, and none of that jazz stuff! Essential historical fix FFO: Wire, X-Ray Spex, The Adverts, The Fall.
Alternative TV. 1977-81 'Punk Bonanza' Set at The Croft.
Louisiana singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dylan LeBlanc rides into town with casually sublime Americana, tumbling with gorgeous melodies and arrangements that sigh with Southern Gothic romance. Essential yearning FFO: Kurt Vile, Kevin Morby, Damien Jurado, Hiss Golden Messenger.

You just cannot bury Your Demise, cos ignorance never dies! Reliving the unstoppable George Noble golden era of belligerent St Albans beatdown, the 00s hxc heroes whip the Croft into a roaring plug pit of metallic riffage and misspent aggression. One final fix FFO: Hatebreed, Brutality Will Prevail, Biohazard, Misery Signals, Cave In.
Your Demise 2004 at The Croft.
We are the hard house nation, and Andy Farley is undoubtedly king of this rowdy realm. A dream booking here for the hard dance revivalists at Belters and CLUBCØRTEX; Andy’s walloping selects have spawned at least 3 generations of yung rave renegades. Get those hands in the air for the big euphoric breakdown pads, this one’s historical.
