Bristol music festival Sequences announces new city centre location

Organisers of a Bristol music festival have announced a new central location after the initial event was postponed.

Sequences was due to take place at Greville Smyth Park in Ashton on Saturday (July 24), but was called off with a week's notice.

Platform Live, the team behind the event, said they were "working hard to confirm the new date" at an "exciting new location in the heart of the city" as they pulled the plug - and they have today given an update.

With a lineup featuring a feast of drum & bass, headlined by Chase & Status, Sequences will now take place at the Lloyds Amphitheatre on October 2, 2021.

Back to Love - a separate event headed up by the same organisers that was due to take place at Greville Smyth on July 25 - will now take place at St Philip's nightclub Motion on August 15 instead.

The move comes after neighbours of the park raised fears over noise and disruption.

Tom Hoyle, co-director of Platform Live, said: "We are so pleased to be able to relocate Sequences to this prestigious location, which means we are able to still bring Chase & Status and our terrific line-up of artists to Bristol’s music fans.

"We have a huge network of suppliers working on the event and we’re pleased to be able to move to a date later in the summer to give us time to respond to the latest changes in the government guidelines for mass gatherings.

"Bristol harbourside is a great backdrop for music events and easily accessible for our audience. Big thanks to Bristol City Council for helping us to create something new for the city this summer."

The event will feature stalwarts Chase & Status as headliners as well as a Critical Soundsystem showcase with label Kasra, Enei, Halogenix and many more.

The event has already sold out and anyone with existing tickets who is unable to make the rescheduled date can contact their ticket provider directly to request a refund.

Once this process is complete, organisers hope to be able to release a small allocation of final tickets and will announce this on social media.

The move is still subject to site permissions, licensing and government guidance in October. Organisers will work with Public Health England to implement any Covid-19 measures required at the time.
