6 Brilliant Tribute Acts Playing at The Fleece in 2021

Posted on: 09 Jun 2020

The Clone Roses, Whole Lotta Led and Antarctic Monkeys: next year, it’s tribute bands galore at The Fleece. 

 

With the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, it can be a bit tough to get excited about gigs that are happening in 2020.

 

Luckily, a range of Bristol music venues are already gearing up for a busy 2021, including established city centre venue The Fleece.

 

Next year, The Fleece is set to welcome the likes of The Wurzels, Wendy James and Chuck Prophet.

 

But, as well as a range of established acts, The Fleece is also set to host a range of tribute acts.

 

Tribute acts are big: they often look and sound like the real thing, and let fans relive the magic of their top acts in more intimate venues.

 

So, here’s five brilliant tribute acts that will be performing at The Fleece in 2021.
