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.

“Inglefest is a grassroots, independent music festival that brings together the vibrant and diverse spirit of the South West's original music scene for three days of live music and celebration. With three clash-free stages and an eclectic lineup, there’s something for everyone to enjoy - from reggae and funk to rock, rap and folk and everything in between, as well as workshops and activities across the weekend.”
From: 15th - 17th August
