RITUAL UNION REVEALS FIRST WAVE OF ARTISTS FOR 2027

Electric Bristol | Strange Brew | Rough Trade

Saturday 20th March 2027

Ten years since its debut, Bristol’s one-day, multi-venue music discovery festival returns, once again bringing exciting emerging talent and established names to the heart of the city. Held across three iconic venues and four stages - Electric Bristol, Rough Trade, and Strange Brew - festival-goers won’t have to travel far, as we’ve scoured far and wide for the brightest and best in new and established music, just a stone’s throw from each other within Bristol’s city centre. Leading the first wave announcement are experimental jazz-punk headliners Maruja, whose explosive live performances have earned them a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting rising bands. They're set to release their live album The Holy Inadequate on 20 November via Music For Nations. Next up are Enemies Etc., a new project featuring members of IDLES, Los Bitchos, Petbrick and TRAAMS. Joining them are raucous West Midlands duo GANS, bringing their own brand of abrasive post-punk, jangle-pop outfit The Tubs, and multi-instrumentalist psychedelic pop act Truthpaste.

Ritual Union has a history of showcasing artists on the rise, with previous lineups featuring the likes of Fontaines DC, Katy J Pearson, Getdown Services, Billy Nomates, Warmduscher, Lime Garden, Self Esteem, Ninajirachi, Peace, Black Honey and more.
