Ritual Union

About Ritual Union

After starting in Oxford in 2017, Ritual Union 2027 lands in Bristol as a city-centre indie, rock and alternative all-dayer. The original Oxford event ran across five venues on and around Cowley Road, with over 30 acts. The Bristol edition was first announced for 2020, rescheduled through the pandemic, and took place for the first time in the city on 1 October 2022.

It runs on 20 March 2027. Early Bird tickets are listed at £27.50 face value, or £30.94 including fee.

Who Is It For?

The stated audience covers fans of established and emerging indie, rock and alternative music. Entry is 14+ at all venues, with under-16s accompanied by an adult.

No field-site sprawl. Ritual Union Bristol runs as a one-day indoor event rather than a camping weekend.

The Venue and Site

Electric Bristol, Rough Trade and Strange Brew form the verified Bristol site, with the venues set in central Bristol and reachable on foot between rooms. A wristband grants entry to all participating venues.

Facilities are venue-specific. Strange Brew lists cloakroom availability at higher-capacity events, while accessibility routes run through SEE and the promoter, with venue-specific accessibility pages for Electric Bristol, Strange Brew and Rough Trade. No camping is listed for the one-day indoor format.
