Ritual Union 2023
25th March 2023

The first edition might’ve only just passed following a handful of incidental virus-based-shuffles, but Ritual Union are thrilled to return as their originally intended pre-spring palette cleansing showcase of the best new music, from Bristol and afar.

Critically acclaimed Porridge Radio passed the 2023 headline baton for one of their final dates showcasing latest record “Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky” accompanied by the city’s own destruction pioneers Scalping + hypnotic quasi-dance-funk three-piece The Orielles

More Bristol triumphs line the top-end of the bill as both Rozi Plain and Heavy Lungs return for their first shows in the city for years, as do Cardiff’s Panic Shaft after such an impressive RUB debut this past October that we had to bring them back.

Sink your teeth in further down the bill, and you’ll find it’s the best in new artists from our tastemaking city and afar.
