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! Shit-splattered Czech goregrind greats come to shower you in punishing riffs, hella catchy cricket vocals and digestive tract samples. What else do you need to know? Big goofy scat metal fun incoming FFO: Spasm, Ahumado Granujo, Impetigo, Dead Infection, Rompeprop.
Gutalax at Exchange.
Sell out warning! Olympia, WA’s DIY folk-punk maximalists Pigeon Pit storm Exchange with jittery, anxious romance. Frontwoman Lomes Oleander’s ragged lyrical intimacy rides banjo, fiddle, and acoustic guitar in a frenzy of house-show culture honky-tonk chaos FFO: Bright Eyes, Home Is Where, Radiator Hospital, Violent Femmes.
Pigeon Pit at Exchange.
Sell out warning! Reverent folk blues played on 12 string guitar with the poetic fervour of Townes Van Zandt, summoning the same ghosts of mental illness and the mundane country sprawl. Parr isn’t a revivalist - he’s one of the last of the true originals.
Charlie Parr at Exchange.
Sell out warning! Stormy alt-folk, hewn straight from the earth. Sean Rowe’s bluesy, soul-steeped ballads are utterly captivating, his deep, moody baritone and narrative chops effortlessly conjuring the spirit of Cohen and Waits. Guaranteed emotional reckoning FFO: Iron & Wine, Gregory Alan Isakov, Nick Cave.
