Posted on: 14 Nov 2022

2022 is drawing to a close and, as always, venues all over Bristol have planned an amazing selection of New Year's Eve knees ups.

 

Congratulations, we've all survived another round trip of the sun. If you’re still at a loose end this NYE, worry not, we've curated a list of the events taking place on some of Bristol's best-loved dancefloors. Not all venues have announced their event yet so keep an eye on this list as it is updated over the coming weeks.

 

Things are beginning to pick up for Christmas and we all know how hard it is to find time to browse venue listings for the perfect night out so that's where 365Bristol come in. We've left no stone unturned in our search for the best parties to usher in the new year.

 

So, whether you're looking for the biggest names in dance music or an all-star line-up of local bands, we've picked out something for you...

 

Lakota | 6 Upper York St, St Paul's, BS2 8QN

 

Kicking off our list is a Bristol staple, for the final dance of 2022 Lakota will be transforming themselves for a very special night like no other. Spread across 3 rooms with fantastic decor, Bentleigh and Marti and co are celebrating the end of their 30th anniversary year with a host of exciting DJs including Hunee, Dan Shake, Gabrielle Kwarteng and Willow.

The Louisiana | Wapping Rd, Bathurst Terrace, BS1 6UA

 

Bristol's very own Breakfast Records will be hoping that it's second time lucky when they take over The Louisiana for New Year's Eve.
