The Venn Festival was born in 2003, out of a dual impetus: an overbearing urge to enliven the straightjacket music presentation format, and a desire to give Bristol, UK a landmark music festival that was one of the most exciting of its kind in the world.
Venn imagines a festival of music, sound and art that, by resisting obvious programming and modes of production wherever possible, triggers a wide set of emotions and thoughts. An inexpensive festival of musical overlap for as many fellow explorers that can be persuaded to come.
Occupying a collection of venues, buildings and outposts scattered around Bristol, UK, Venn is operated by a collection of disparate music obsessives who bring to Venn their own entertaining sensibilities and probing spirit.
Venn 2008 is a collaboration between:
VENUE
Bristol and Bath’s what’s on bible, jam-packed with a richly intoxicating
array of previews, reviews, features and news from the music, clubbing, film,
theatre and squiggly off-kilter events worlds of the South West. Not to mention
a one-stop shop for weekly entertainment listings and the odd bit of free
stuff, too. Exclusive local media partner of Venn.
