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.

It’s telling how many treasured party institutions earned their stripes at The Croft - and how they’re all flocking back! If you’ve seen Paradisco touch decks anywhere, you know the drill: rapturous disco euphoria and life-giving diva house to fend off the perennial blues. Nobody does it better.

UK emo revival standouts Mishikui hit the Croft with raw, reverb-drenched atmospherics – think MBV-style wall-of-sound moodiness meeting the muscular angst of Title Fight. This is full tilt catharsis FFO: Superheaven, Movements, Slow Crush, Nothing.
