Live From The Drive-In in Bristol has been put together by Live Nation and the team behind the upcoming YTL Arena Complex.
Earlier this year, the YTL Arena Bristol was given planning permission to repurpose Brabazon Hangars, located on the edge of the Airfield, into a big entertainment complex.
Sarah McBride, Partnerships Director for YTL Arena Complex said:
“We are incredibly excited to be hosting Live Nation’s drive-in events here at the former Filton Airfield. This is an opportunity for the live events sector to start up again safely, supporting staff, performers and restoring confidence in audiences.
“This is going to be an exciting summer, packed with a range of events for all ages to enjoy and we look forward to welcoming everyone on site.”
Peter Taylor, a Live Nation Promoter said:
“We are excited to bring Utilita Live From The Drive-In to fans across the U.K.
"This outdoor concert series was created as a way to reimagine the live music experience during a time of social distancing by allowing fans to enjoy concerts in the safest way possible."
