Batu's En Masse Festival returns this month

Batu’s inner-city Bristol festival, En Masse, will return for a second year later this month.

Taking place from 20th-24th September, the festival will be spread out across six events at five venues in Bristol: Strange Brew, The Black Swan, The Trinity Centre, The Loco Klub and Cube Microplex.

Among the artists billed to play this year’s festival are Ben UFO, Chloe Sage, Josey Rebelle, Leif, SCALPING, k means, Dubkasm, Tom Boogizm and Batu himself. Bruce will also debut a new live set one night at Strange Brew.

Tickets for individual En Masse events are available via Headfirst. You can find the full breakdown of events, and get tickets, by heading here.

En Masse launched as a multi-venue Bristol festival in 2021 after plans to schedule it as a one-weekend event in 2020 were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
