Does Christmas music bring you out in hives? Do the illuminated countdowns of the shopping days left until the 25th December make you want to run away screaming? Do you look at dejected dads trailing round town after their families and think “same, mate, same.”
Then we have the perfect antidote for you. Online shopping, save a bunch of money and time, and then use all that you’ve saved to go out this weekend and have a good time instead!
Bristol’s newest festival, Submerge hits the city this weekend with a splash. Highlights include Dive, an audiovisual show from Koreless which brings mirrors and lasers and electronic music to our very own Colston Hall.

The Ascent, a club night happening over at the Old Coroners Curts with transgender DJ and producer Octo Octa, techno producer Rrose and a whole host of performance artists including john smith.

Sometimes you don’t want all these arty festivals and headsy house. You just want a phat soundsystem, a whole bunch of DJs… DJs on ketamine are optional of course… and to be wholly unpretentious down that den of iniquity that we call The Black Swan. Yep it’s time for BrisTek 11 and Dutch drum and bass/dubstep outfit Black Sun Empire are headlining.
22:00 – 06:00 | BLACK SWAN | £15 + BOOKING FEE
