BrisFest: an excellent way to say 'goodbye' to the summer

Yet another festival to come before Autumn hits the city: BrisFest is a non-profit celebration 'showcasing rising stars and future talent from the region alongside international hearliners', as the official website describes the event. The music festival will be held 21-22 September in Ashton Court and 15 stages will cover many music genres as well as comedy, circus and art. The weather is forecasted to be nice (English speaking), between 13-19ºC and rain is not expected any of the days.

BrisFest is called a 'community festival'  as it is organised By the People, For the People. Local volunteers work har along the year to make this even happen, which benefits to local artists and the city of Bristol too.

Apart from the main stage where bands like Toodla T Sound, Dr Meaker, Yes Sir Boss and The Boxettes will play, there will be eight medium stages with very varied music styles: Fabio & Grooverider, Kurtis Blow, Young Kato, Daisy Chapman, RSVO Bhangra, The Mankala, DJ Cheeba, Bucucrasu, Clayton Blizzard and many more.

The festival will open Saturday from midday to midnight and Sunday from midday to 11pm. Organisers said on twitter they are close to selling out again this year so you'd better get the tickets soon in this link. First and second releases are already sold out, and tickets are 35 pounds for both days (which does not include accommodation or camping). Once you purchase the ticket, they will be emailed so you must print them and bring them with you both days.

A few weeks ago, Bristol 24-7 said that organisers were also urging people to volunteer. I am not very sure how the situation is right now, but I am sure any extra volunteer will be welcome. If you are interested, contact getinvolved@brisfest.co.uk
