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

Sell out warning! Midwest emo acolytes rejoice - Foxing hit Bristol on an anniversary megatour celebrating 10 years since genre-defying debut album The Albatross. Post-rock and melodic indie tenderly intertwined FFO: TWIABP, American Football, Algernon Cadwallader, Tigers Jaw. Foxing at Exchange.

Sell out warning! The last gasp of 2023 looks more like a roar with this all star 2 room cast of Noods Radio / Mickey Zoggs’ finest. 5 club nights in one go? Why not? With otherworldly industrial dubtech from i-sha and Jerome, wicked dark junglism from Pessimist & Clarity and Bristol’s First Lady of footwork, K means + way way more. AM x PTS NYE 2024 at Exchange.

Sell out warning! Brutal introspective post-thrash, post-death, tech-metal frankenstein phoenix sculpted from the ashes of beloved blackened-sludgers Hang the Bastard. Essential knotty Bloodstock angst FFO: Mastodon, Opeth, Conjurer, Alcest, Gojira. Urne at Exchange.

Sell out warning! The hottest thing in metalcore since Code Orange first raised its ugly head. Southern Lord and Ghostmane both what Jesus Piece to destroy the youth of America, NOW! Jesus Piece at Exchange.

Our petition to make Raise The NRG a monthly residency has almost been heard! Bringing thundering hard trance and queer techno to the Exchange with HE.SHE.THEY darkwave beauty Wax Wings and Boudica resident Donna - this will be one hella steamy dancefloor. Raise The NRG w/ Wax Wings & Donna at Exchange.
