It wouldn’t be a Bristol festival without RUN on board and this year, The Big Top is hosted by them throughout Saturday. Their acclaimed approach to line-up curation will be sure to satisfy every drum & bass fan’s needs.

Returning to Bristol, Surusinghe will bend genres with her experimental style of electro dance, bringing her own personal sound inspired by the rave scene.

Tom Paine, Love Saves the Day founder, said: “Love Saves the Day has become such a staple in the festival calendar and we can’t wait to bring it back for 2023.
