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
Post-rock, screamo and antifascist crust for a world in flames. For those on the brink of collapse, only Lagrimas can touch that nerve: gut-wrenching screams, thunderous drums and tear-jerking melody all conspire to change your life in 3 minutes. This band is everything FFO: Habak, Catalyst, Fall of Efrafa, Gillian Carter.
Lagrimas at The Croft.
Chloé Robinson knows what's what, making rasping, half-time UK bass styles play nice with pummelling techno trippers in the post-dubstep melting pot. With skin in the game for almost fifteen years now, she’s got the chops to make the tops clatter and bass bins heave in the storied Croft back room.
The Croft's All Night Long series continues with Pretty Weird's Chloë Robinson at the helm.
Sell out warning! Now here's a red hot mid-week ticket! Tino excels in retro-future fundamentals with his mix of italo swag, naughty sino-sax melodies, proto-house slink, and a bit of bleep for good measure. Set You Free is your fav DJs most IDed tune, some come get the fuck doooown if you're into Nu Groove, Eris Drew, Dr Banana or Strictly Rhythm.
Krab & Mental Block reunite at the Croft with this summer's man of the moment Tino at helm. Support comes in the form of Jas Myla and our residents. Immersive room decor will be curated and installed by Andecdotes Mag & Boomtown's own Topsy Turvy
Intaception close-in on a champagne year with thee hallowed Bristol Sound alchemist Krust, cooking up an 93 - 96 nostalgic spesh for the delirious Croft masses. Paired with two of new skool jungle's deadliest local operators (Deselecta and Duality), this is easily 1000% of your recommended weekly amen allowance (results are non-toxic).
Intaception return to The Croft for the third and final time, with Bristol's very own Krust heading the bill, alongside Deselecta, Duality + Ozzy LJ.
Diverse, devious triple biller with superlative stoner psych doom from Finland's Orbiter, our fav local theatrical darkwavers Naut + Tommy Creep's eerie modular drone for starters. Delectable darkness FFO: Desert Sessions, Castle Rat, She Past Away, Sabbath, Sisters.
With NAUT and Tommy Creep
