Rave on Avon

Giving local music the stage to shine!

Rave on Avon is back at Stokes Croft! Next Saturday, 17th May, an all-day multi-venue festival will take over the neighbourhood for a day of music and partying from 2pm until 6am in the morning. All events, music and dances before 6pm will be free.

For events and concerts after 6pm, you will need to get a wristband. It will give you access to the participating venues: Blue Mountain, Lakota, 51 Stokes Croft, Coroners Court and The Love Inn. Advance tickets cost 9 pounds all booking fees included and can be purchased at Lakota, Idle Hands and Bristol Ticket Shop as well as online (here). If you are not sure, you can get tickets on the day from Lakota Garden for 10 pounds anyway.

Lakota's garden will host food stalls, local traders, games and outdoor festival fun between 2pm and 8pm. Then, some live music at the main room (10pm-6am) and many more in other rooms. The Canteen and 51 Stokes Croft, both will have live music all day and DJs; and The Love Inn will serve brunch, burgers and pizzas all day long with music from 9pm until 4am in the morning.
