THE FIFTH at Ashton Court
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"CJC continue their unrivalled musical occupation of Ashton Court with a mammoth Bonfire Night showcase across three stages. If you’re interested in the rude health of Bristol’s noise-rock, indie, post-punk, freak folk, nu-jazz, heavy psych underground …. scrap that, if you’re into ANY music AT ALL, then you need to attend one of these frankly historic takeovers."

There will be food, drinks, your favourite Bristol bands, and more exciting stuff that we can’t wait to share with you!

3 Stages, each bringing different energy:

- MAIN STAGE

- FOLKE FORT
Nile Robinson's Folke Fort Vol. IV. Music, poetry, and art from Bristol's folk scene.
In Memory of Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight champion of the world.
"He was an artist, and artists leave behind artistic things... and the memories of Jack Johnson are memories of Art."

- THE LOUNGE
Head into The Lounge to experience these incredible local Bristol bands. An eclectic mix of janky guitars, folky grunge, and weird psych sounds…


All ticket sales are split between the musicians and running costs, allowing you to support local artists and community events !!

A massive thank you to ArtSpace LifeSpace for allowing us to put this together at the wonderful Arts Mansion!

We aim to provide a platform for grassroots musicians to perform on stages, network with other musicians and establish themselves within the Bristol scene. We love music that pushes boundaries and carves its own path, breaking norms and causing storms with creativity and passion.

This venue is wheelchair accessible. Some artists use their own lighting for their performance too, which may include flashing lights. If you have any queries or accessibility requirements please don’t hesitate to contact us via Instagram or email in advance of the event so that we can appropriately accommodate your needs. We will do whatever we can :)
