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.
“Next year, we go again! If you've been already the chances are you're not missing it again. If you've never been, you're in for a total shapeshifting experience. We are DANCING BODY, a festival of dance on a permaculture farm in Wales - merging the elements of a retreat setting and a proper festival rave culture to give you the ultimate summer weekend experience.”
