Taking place at several different venues including, SWX, Rough Trade and Strange Brew, 2024 will see the addition of The Island joining for the first time since its inception in 2022.

Ritual Union prides itself on securing the best of the up and coming talent Bristol, the UK and beyond has to offer and next year’s lineup is no different.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Co-headlining the event will be Dream Wife and Liz Lawrence, who are supported by leading names on the bill including Do Nothing, Widowspeak, Cheekface, William Doyle and Das Koolies.

The day festival also includes two exclusive performances, including an opening set from the legendary Martin Newell AKA The Cleaners From Venus, plus a reunion show set for the recently reformed Brooklyn band Cende.
