What's On Saturday 2nd July — in Bristol
A complete list of live music and nightlife for Saturday 2nd July.
From today's events
“It's time for TFA's first and only hometown headline show of 2022. The inimitable pop-punkers couldn't be more excited to head back to Exchange on Saturday 2 July! With support from the rock ravers Cosmic Ninja and pop punk stalwarts Hightail, this show isn't one to be missed!”
From: TFA
“We now welcome you to a Summer party at The Volunteer Tavern on Saturday 2nd July. Playing from 2 pm - 11 pm we balance a mixture of vintage under-the-radar sounds, dubby edits, and contributions from contemporary labels (including Sofrito, Soundway, Brownswood & Awesome Tapes from Africa). Mixing records all day long, we shall grace the back garden at the Volly with some sweet, sumptuous music that will help to while away the winter breeze and beacon the bountiful sunshine.”
