Headfirst Bristol is an independent events guide and ticket shop focused on Bristol’s live music and nightlife. The site presents a comprehensive calendar of what’s on, from gigs and concerts to club nights, warehouse parties and other local events. Working directly with city promoters, Headfirst aims to provide current listings for events happening tonight, over the weekend and further ahead, alongside recommendations from its music team.

Visitors can browse events by date, discover performances at both established venues and smaller spaces, and buy tickets through the online shop. Listings span a wide range of genres and experiences, including folk, electronic music, punk, jazz and experimental sounds. The guide highlights venues such as Bristol Beacon, Thekla, Strange Brew, Exchange, The Louisiana and The Jam Jar, while also drawing attention to Bristol’s smaller live music spaces and warehouse scene.

Headfirst also invites musicians, bands and club-night organisers to submit events to its calendar.
