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
Floor-to-ceiling retro indie charm! First-wave Creation Records darlings The Loft infamously split on the Hammersmith Palais stage during their first national tour in 1984, reuniting thirty years later to finally release their debut album – a modern classic of shimmering jangle-pop-rock. They’re the definitive comeback kids FFO: Hefner, The Wave Pictures, The Vaselines, The Reds Pinks and Purples.
The Loft + The Lovely Basement at The Croft.
Grandmixxer shells down at the Croft with seriously banging, gun-finger 140 riddims with the sharpest of blends – 10/10 high-grade pressure from one of the best in the game! Logon_OLM commands the mic, spraying quick-fire bars and relentless grime poetics. They're a mighty dual force to be reckoned with… reloads at the ready!
FatBelly Presents: Grandmixxer w/ Logan_OLM at The Croft.
Petrolhead hardcore wrestles with proggy thrash all in the name of an interdimensional Jesus? Skin Failure’s rabid sci-fi crossover shredding is just shit loads of fun; Blowout do the right thing for support (as always), with Benzo Queen’s unhinged synthcore tantrums and Screaming Doll’s gruff’n’groovy desert grunge. Face-melter FFO: Municipal Waste, Every Time I Die, Wasted Death, Petbrick.
Skin Failure at The Croft.
Monday metal madness of the cosmic death variety. If it’s horrific enough for Profound Lore, we’ll more than slam to it. Warp Chamber are a sci-fi horrorshow of psychotic rhythmical violence, impossibly technical not-of-this-world shredistation, and alien phlegm growled forth from Satan’s pits. Depraved music to start your week wrong FFO: Blood Incantation, Timeghoul, Suffocation, Tomb Mold, Morbid Angel.
Warp Chamber at The Croft.
Sell out warning! Support your local swamplords on their one-band journey through the tangled terrains of amphibious-sludge-doom and folk horror sci-fi worldbuilding. Masked psych-metal fantasy theatrics in a league of their own FFO: Electric Wizard, Devil's Witches, Acid King, Conan.
