The Croft
The legendary home of outsider bands and Bristol's dubstep heyday!
A Stokes Croft icon (formerly The Croft, then Crofters Rights) returns thanks to Music Venue Properties' 'Save Our Venues' Campaign + the team behind The Mothers Ruin, The Colosseum, The Crown and the live programming brains behind Exchange.
The lovingly revamped Croft will hold 140 sweaty gig-goers with a focus on live music - as well as carefully curated clubnights.
The doors will burst wide open on 12 September after a successful fundraising campaign. You can expect 14 beers on tap from local suppliers, 7 days a week. We can't bloody wait!

Our recent recommendations for The Croft
Sell out warning! We’re staring down the barrel of WW3, but fear not, World Peace are here: the greatest act of skull-crushing West Coast powerviolence this side of Iron Lung. So fast, so brutal, it’s positively zen – there’s no guitars needed in these 30 second low-end assaults of feral grind’n’groove FFO: Godstomper, Nasum, Water Torture, Fluoride, Spazz.
World Peace at The Croft.
Ritualised prog-skronk supremacy, first appearing on our radar cloaked in red blowing the stage wide open for eager Acid Mothers Temple initiates; Codex Serafani sound like early King Crimson reborn in the orgiastic fire of some heathen goddess. If you’re into Boredoms, Boris, Mars Volta or even Amon Düül II, this band could be your life.
Codex Serafini at The Croft.
A gristly Blowout x Shitty Futures collab of stateside punk grind’n’more. Flower’s mutant metallic crust and Nø Man’s aggy screamo catharsis oozes across the pond to meet crossover street thrash locals Docile and rising queercore Londoners Wetnurse on the sweat-slick Croft floor. No brainer FFO: Nausea, Sacrilege, Transistor Transistor, Rudimentary Peni, Aus Rotten.
Flower, Nø Man, Wet Nurse, and Docile at The Croft.
Sell out warning! Double-headliner of undersung 21st century Britdeath icons incoming! It’s the first Bristol visitation for cosmic colosseum world-builders Mithras, combined with the schizophrenic hyper-technical batshittery of Damim (fka Dam). Rejoice in the 280bpm+ brutality, all ye disciples of: Morbid Angel, Blood Incantation, Timeghoul, Bal-Sagoth, Gojira, Akercocke.
Mithras, Damim, Unburier & Deliberate Miscarriage at The Croft.
Dissonance are on an absolute victory lap after bagging Sully for that Brew roadblock, now they’re bouncing back to the Croft with Mixtress’ relentlessly hi-NRG hardcore / footwork / UK bass chops and Soz Lad’s Nymfro in total hard dance tear-out mode (as always). Xtra large session inside FFO: Western Lore, Future Retro, Samurai Breaks, FFF.
DISSONANCE X S&S // Mixtress + Nymfro & more at The Croft.
