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! 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.

Second show added due to massive demand! Beloved Ohio indie-emo quartet Remember Sports bring their ripping alt-pop and sunroof-dropping riffs to town. Big scrappy rave-ups with both goofy earnestness and subtle emotional insight – these are loud anthems for quiet people. Unmissable FFO: Ratboys, Joyce Manor, Alvvays.

Brighton’s grungecore/queercore emissaries wield noise like a bludgeon and a balm. Leibniz thrash through tracks with shoegaze haze and a thuggish grunge muscle. Erin Munn’s scream is both ecstatic catharsis and a wound of trans oppression - think Queens of the Stone Age in a queer horror dream spiral. Huge FFO: Josh Homme, Dreamwell, Home Is Where, Angel Olsen, Smashing Pumpkins.

Sell out warning! Big one for the Warhammer heads + Elder Scrolls wizards: dungeon synth hero Elyvilon brings legends of long-forgotten lands, filled with intricate medieval folk, forest jaunts and treacherous quests. Prepare for an epic journey ahead, joined by Hermit Knights’ haunting fantasy fables and Dune-inspired synthwave soundscapes from LANDSRAAD.
