The Thunderbolt and POLYGAZE are back this August with their biggest event to date, Thunderfest. A three day grassroots music festival celebrating Bristol's independent music scene.

From Friday 28th - Sunday 30th August, The Thunderbolt will turn into our festival hub and feature 20 local bands and artists across two stages.

Main Stage sits at the heart of venue and will see 12 bands across the three day weekend. The Bandstand is tucked away in the venue's beer garden, and will see 8 acoustic solo/duo acts across Saturday and Sunday, alongside the return of The Thunderbolt Pub Quiz.

Thunderfest will see a range of genres over the long weekend, with Friday dedicated to punk rock, Saturday to blues and rock, and Sunday to indie rock.

We'd love to invite you to Thunderfest, come and enjoy some amazing grassroots music, in the sun with your friends and family.

All ticket sales are reinvested into Bristol's grassroots music scene, supporting bands, artists, grassroots venues and promoters.

Tickets are available - one of the most affordable festivals you'll go to this year!
