What's On in Bristol
Tuesday 22 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Bristol has a habit of making even a Tuesday feel like the weekend, and the 22nd of September is no exception. From soulful live sets echoing through intimate venues to a thunderous all-night techno experience that will keep you dancing until the small hours, the city is alive with possibility tonight. Whether you are after something warm and melodic or something that rattles your chest, Bristol is delivering.
Highlights
Liam Bailey | Exchange Bristol — Liam Bailey brings his rich, soulful voice to the Exchange Bristol at 7:00pm — a venue that has a knack for making every performance feel close and personal. Known for weaving together soul, reggae, and raw blues into something entirely his own, Bailey is the kind of artist who stops a room cold the moment he opens his mouth. Tickets are available via the website, so do not leave it too late.
Maddie Ashman | Rough Trade Bristol — There are few more perfectly matched pairings in the city than a rising folk-leaning songwriter and the storied, record-lined walls of Rough Trade Bristol, and Maddie Ashman steps into that space at 7:30pm. Intimate, honest, and brimming with quiet intensity, this is the sort of show you will be telling people about long after the last chord fades. Head to the website to check ticket details before you go.

Teletech: KIRSTY [All Night Long] - Bristol — If Tuesday night needs a proper send-off, Clock Factory Bristol has you covered from 10:00pm as Teletech presents KIRSTY for a full all-night-long set. This is serious, focused techno in one of Bristol's most characterful warehouse spaces, and at £14 it is outstanding value for the kind of relentless, immersive dance floor experience that the city does so well. Come ready to lose track of time entirely.
