Upfest 2024: All the live music performances at this year's event and when to see them
Upfest Presents, the new 17-day events programme from the team behind the annual Upfest street art festival, is launching on Friday, May 17. In addition to the expansive timetable of live artists and workshops you can find across the 17 days, there's also a couple of days of live music to enjoy during festivities.
Taking place on each Saturday during the event, live DJs and music will act as a backdrop to visitors to the Tobacco Factory in Southville, a hub for Upfest year after year. We've compiled a list of all the acts and stage times for 2024 (all information is correct at time of writing but subject to change).
On launch day itself, visitors will also be able to enjoy music from Cridge, Bungy and Oli T, as well as a collaboration between Paul Monsters and Bristol Beer Factory, live painting and tape art, and Subway colouring sheets. The festival is taking place at locations and venues across the BS3 area and will feature some of the city's best loved street artists.
