This Weekend's Trending Clubnights
We started Headfirst in 2008 and since then we have seen Bristol's weekend nightlife programme week upon week. Currently Bristol's clubnights are some of the most diverse and innovative in the UK, ranging from small venues like Cosies and The Island to larger clubs like Motion and Blue Mountain. The best of this weekend's club events are below.
“Wreckship, Stay Safe (featured on Radio 1 Rock Show) & Build For Tomorrow are bringing their punk energy to The Golden Lion on Gloucester Road for a FREE SHOW. Infectious melodies, hard hitting drums and big riffs on a Friday night to get the weekend started.”
