The Croft
The legendary home of outsider bands and Bristol's dubstep heyday!
A Stokes Croft icon 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
Bristol instrumental three-piece Last Hyena launch a new EP stacked with gibbering riffs and untamed post-rock surges, wrung from complex clockwork rhythms. A maelstrom of unsentimental melody and motorik propulsion FFO: HAAL, A Burial at Sea, Explosions In The Sky, ISIS.
Last Hyena at The Croft.
Scottish two-piece indie pop group The Cords slather honey over their every gorgeous tune, letting them drip-dry in the sunshine, while Copenhagen’s Josie push jangle melodies through a punky haze of fuzzy garage rock. Top tier FFO: Vivian Girls, Best Coast, The Pastels, Wipers.
THE CORDS and JOSIE plus supports at The Croft.
A live assault of sheer intensity, Norwich’s Eat Your Own Head drive jagged grooves and gravelly chants through twisted rhythmic shifts. Their hypnotic jams move from heavy reveries to thunderous climaxes – massive FFO: Tool, QOTSA, Deftones, Mastodon.
Eat Your Own Head at The Croft.
Bristol-based bass-and-drums punk duo Peacelily release their debut EP, wielding muscular instrumentals and bilious rant vocals to whip their live shows into a cacophonous frenzy. Once you’re in the blender, ecstatic pulverisation is inevitable! FFO: Sleaford Mods, Royal Blood, Bureau De Change.
Peacelily EP Release Show at The Croft.
With wry humour and punkish jangles, Whitney K’s mastered the depths of avant folk country. Sounding like a freewheeling Townes Van Zandt fronting the Velvet Underground; his ‘Trans-Canada Oil Boom Blues’ careens from uplifting to sombre, upbeat to sad - a bundle of drunken nu-Dylan contradictions.
Schwet with Whitney K, Eva May and memotone at The Croft.
