Simple Things Festival, multi-venue Bristol, 8th November 2025

This year’s Simple Things Festival has a line-up sure to impress. Playing across multiple venues in and around Bristol Beacon, some well recognisable names include Adult DVD, DITZ, VLURE, Dry Cleaning and The Orielles. The list of names we (as yet) don’t know so well but are looking forward to catching up with features the likes of Clark, Iglooghost, Mechatok, Upchuck and Y.

Special guest Nala Sinephro is a talented purveyor of experimental jazz, fusing harp, synth and piano, the mix of styles and genres summing up the festival’s approach to offering up something new and unexpected.
