Bristol has a brand new festival to add to the city's cultural calendar of music events. Misery Loves Company is a multi-venue music event with "diversity and inclusivity at its core" and promises to be a major highlight in the 2023 festival calendar in the South West.
Operating under the slogan "we're all sad so let's be sad together", Misery Loves Company has firmed up its first wave of artists and half of the acts have women and/or non-binary members. Glasgow rock duo Twin Atlantic and Brighton's YONAKA will be co-headlining the event on September 30, 2023.
Kid Bookie, Mimi Barks, Pengshui, InVisions, TheCityIsOurs, Vexed, Love Is Noise, Lizzy Farrall, InMe, RXPTRS, Gürl, Kite Thief, Immerse and Lozeak were also in the first announcement. Spread across five stages, the alternative music festival will be hosted at SWX, Rough Trade, The Station and The Lanes, which will have both an indoor and courtyard acoustic stage.
