Are you ready for Ritual Union? Day festival returns next week to take over the city.

Words by Libby Smith

Next Saturday, three beloved Bristol venues are opening their doors to an array of unmissable talent, including the likes of Billy Nomates, CVC, and so many more.

Since their first Bristol festival back in 2022 (and 7 years altogether under their belt), Ritual Union has welcomed a huge variety of legendary names to their stages, such as Fontaines DC, Katy J Pearson, Dream Wife, and Lynks amongst others. This year, the festival will continue showcasing the best that the UK rock and indie scene has to offer, spanning across SWX, Rough Trade, and Strangebrew - three iconic venues within our city center.

There's something for everyone here. Whether you want to jam out to the 6-piece groovy rock band, CVC, or thrash to local punk legends, The Shania Twainsaw Massacre, the whole day promises an endless buffet of self-expression and extraordinary talent.

If you're an avid music lover who enjoys discovering new musicians and genres, moving from venue to venue, and taking in a diverse array of bands and artists, this is the perfect day for you!
