Exchange
Forward thinking live music venue in Old Market.
Since opening its doors to the public in later summer 2012, Bristol's Exchange has proven itself to be a key player in Bristol's live music music scene. With ticketted events almost every night of the week, Exchange plays host to a wide variety of live bands and styles. That said, the venue's musical programming for bands that sit on the heavier side of the fence (post-rock, math rock, psych) is unrivalled elsewhere in Bristol.
The venue is set over two floors with the larger of the two stages upstairs found upstairs. While club promoters are able to run two concurrent soundsystems, gig promoters and all-dayers use the space to sequence bands and provide a constant programme of music.
Doors for live music events at Exchange are typically 7.30pm, while clubnights vary.

Our recent recommendations for Exchange
Marauding Norsemen Agabas charge into town wielding their self-coined ‘deathjazz’: a pummeling uptempo rawk engine with a thrash gallop, horn blasts strafing through the noise, and shredding throat growls atop a storm of riffs and rhythms. A cataclysmic ruin ritual FFO: Kvelertak, Imperial Triumphant, Slipknot, Converge.

Sell out warning! Nothing's scarier than this 9 hour / 19 band pit-blender of gruelling hxc and battered Halloween costumes. The Blowout punk pulse is always impeccable, with Perp Walk-adjacent powerviolence from Mental Pressure, Proprioception’s end-of-days crust, the unholy dungeon rot triptych of Cryptbreaker / Plague Pit / Mortal Filth + stacks more across 2 stages.

Halloween's just another name for deathcore pile-up, and Rotfest knows it! Taking over upstairs/downstairs @ Exchange for a wall-to-wall crushing ft. Lacerta's evil Slipnkot-indebted nu-metal, rising local metalcorers Kintona, and, scariest of all ... something called piratecore coming in from Plymouth. This a Baphomet beatdown ppl!
ROTFEST at Exchange.
Sell-out warning! Newcastle’s Geordie jazz trio have been absolutely cooking this past year, tearing through stages across the UK and Europe. Their latest album, co-produced by black midi’s Geordie Greep, is a gloriously wonky, punky spin on nu-jazz, part sonic fever dream, part aural memoir of the North. Insta cop if you dig Ezra Collective, Sons of Kemet, or Ishmael Ensemble.
