In:Motion, dubbed 'the South West's most iconic club series' is returning to Bristol through September, October and November. Taking place across multiple Bristol venues including Motion, Document and The Marble Factory, this year's line-up includes legendary names in the world of dance music and drum and bass, as well as a celebration of a major record label.

The 'world-renowned' event, which was created by the people behind Motion nightclub in 2009, saw its original series run for around three months - from the last weekend of September until New Year's Day. The event has seen performances in the past from the likes of Bicep, Chemical Brothers, Chase & Status and Deadmau5 (who returns on June 22 for the first time in six years) and Motion has since been voted as DJ Mag's 11th best club in the world, and the UK's best large club.

This year it has a line-up of both legends and rising stars - among them is Goldie, Chicane, SBTRKT, Paul Woolford and Ewan McVicar.
