The Ardagh Community Sauna Presents: Paper Dragon
Step into the warmth of the sauna and let sound and steam carry you into another world. The Ardagh Community Sauna invites you to a very special evening with Bristol-based electronic music collective Paper Dragon.
Renowned for their distinctive sonic fingerprint, Paper Dragon are among the most forward-thinking voices in Bristol’s vibrant bass music scene. Fearlessly original, they blend jungle roots with contemporary breaks, all underpinned by pristine production.
For this unique event, Paper Dragon will perform an intimate ambient and downbeat set crafted to accompany your sauna experience — a departure from their usual high-energy, breakbeat-driven performances on festival stages across the UK. Time will dissolve as you surrender to the atmosphere, immersed in layers of ambient soundscapes tuned to resonate with both body and mind. Expect an immersive experience combining hot and cold therapies with sonic healing.
️ Tickets & Schedule
Capacity is limited to just 42 tickets. The performance begins at 19:00, and your Sauna + Music Ticket (£20) gives you access to the space for the full two hours, including one of two sauna sittings:
Session 1: 19:00–20:00
Session 2: 20:00–21:00
You’ll choose your session when booking. Guests are encouraged to sauna and plunge throughout the performance to fully experience the healing synergy of sound, heat, and cold.
There will also be 10 Music-Only Tickets (£15) available for those wishing to enjoy the performance without sauna access.
A night for deep listening, stillness, and elemental connection.
