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!

Sell out warning! Windmill-tastic old skool metalcore as it should be: emotionally fraught and utterly punishing. A Mourning Star kick down the door then set it alight with Crowquill’s skramzy mathcore chaos and can’t-see-em-enough local emoviolence miscreants Cainhurst. Blowout blowouts are the best blowouts FFO: Undying, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Your Spirit Dies, Converge.

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.
After a sell out tour last year,promoting their first ever album, Creation legends, The Loft, return to Bristol to promote their sophomnore release with support from local, indie, superstars, The Lovely Basement.
Mountainous riffs and lumbering polyrhythms abound in the unhinged sonic mindscape of Brighton instrumental prog rock 4-piece Poly-Math. This is bombastic, mouth-foaming music with serious futuristic chops, full of humour and groovy precision. Crazed wormhole funk FFO: Mars Volta, Battles, King Crimson, Dream Theater.
