Simple Things Festival 2026

Simple Things returns to Bristol on 7 November with a programme across city venues. Its live and electronic music focus offers an audience interested in discovery and independent culture.

The programme offers a starting point for discovering artists and understanding the communities around their work. Performances can be placed alongside interviews, local cultural journalism and background listening. Those sources provide different experiences of the gathering, while any live broadcast remains dependent on specific announcements and the permissions of the organiser and performers. The multi-venue format makes stage-by-stage scheduling important; official updates and venue notices can help explain changes.
