Each September, Forwards Festival brings the biggest names in music to Bristol
FORWARDS aims to present high-quality, diverse and heritage music acts alongside local emerging artists. With 3 stages, the festival aims to present a contemporary curation of music while paying homage to Bristol’s long-standing musical history.
?
In addition, FORWARDS is more than a music festival, FORWARDS THINKING is a platform for year-round social initiatives in Bristol, all through our project partners, Big Team, Team Canteen and Sustainability CIC. Alongside these partners is The Information, a space for debate and understanding of today’s current affairs and cultural issues.
This year's lineup features headliners Erykah Badu, Bonobo and Aphex Twin in addition to exciting appearances from Confidence Man, Ezra Collective, Gabriels, Biig Piig and Grove on the Friday and Primal Scream, Arlo Parks, Leftfield, Amyl And The Sniffers, Viagra Boys, Jockstrap and Katy J Pearson on the Saturday.
