    Description

    It's more than just a music festival, but a kaleidoscopic cultural coming together that takes place on the breathtaking grounds of Bristol Downs: legends onto the international stage and giving a platform to some of the best talent Bristol and beyond have to offer. Boldly committed to excellence, diversity, and musical heritage, FORWARDS goes above and beyond for the usual festivals, serving up a specially curated blend of established acts alongside rising stars.

    Beyond music, FORWARDS is a festival landscape innovator, embracing the rich musical heritage of Bristol, celebrating the city's past, while pushing the boundaries of what is possible from an urban festival. This extravaganza stretches further than mere entertainment but is a two-day catalyst for change that unites communities through the magic of live music.

    At the heart of the work that FORWARDS does sits its flagship program: FORWARDS THINKING. Alongside organizations such as Big Team CIC and Team Canteen CIC, this platform leads on year-round social work in and around Bristol to support the city and its communities. Complementing this work, The Information is a specific area within the festival site where key conversations around social issues and cultural debate are inspired and informed.

    In other words, FORWARDS disrupts the paradigm of the festival, establishing itself as a polyhedric cultural phenomenon that has no intention of compromising musical excellence, social progress, and intellectual engagement.
