FORWARDS is an inner-city, two-day music festival held at Bristol Downs, featuring top international acts alongside emerging local artists. It celebrates Bristol’s rich musical heritage while offering a modern, diverse lineup. Beyond music, the festival aims to redefine metropolitan festivals by promoting positive social change. Central to this is FORWARDS THINKING, a year-round platform supporting social initiatives in Bristol through partners Big Team CIC and Team Canteen CIC, plus The Information space, which fosters discussion on current affairs and cultural topics.
