The Lantern

Excellent live music venue in Bristol Beacon.


Bristol Beacon's second events space is a 500 capacity, all-standing concert hall. The smaller capacity allows the venue to book more alternative and less established musicians than its larger counterpart. As a result The Lantern's programming is carefully thought-out and extremely varied. Events are booked for almost every night of the week, and tickets for shows are typically £10-20.

Our recent recommendations for The Lantern

Sell out warning! Like your favourite Madlib cuts come to life, Surprise Chef feel like you're trailing the most epic crate digging session ever. Marrying 70s funkxploitation grooves with instrumental stoner soul and dusky boombap kicks, they’re flooding the global consciousness with classic fills beamed from another era. Highly unmissable FFO: Khruangbin, 30/70, David Axelrod, Dilla, BadBadNotGood. Surprise Chef + Support at The Lantern.

The arch conjurer of fiercely tight afrobeat, globetrotting hiphop and upful high-life grooves. Onipa’s lead vocalist and frequent collaborator with Nubiyan Twist, K.O.G’s vocal dexterity and effusive energy is pure heat from start to finish. Catch him in a special appearance with rising Ghanian vocalist Lamisi and Bristol’s leading wordsmith Dizraeli. “I view MUSIC as a major WEAPON in the BATTLEFIELD for PEACE of MIND in the world” – K.O.G
