ACIDFEST is more than just a mini psych fest, but a truly psychedelic, travelling roadshow featuring visuals and far-out sounds. ALL DAYER
About this Event

ACIDFEST started as a 3-day festival in Iceland back in 2022. It's a travelling psych fest curated by psychedelic visionaries from Liverpool, who took this concept around the UK and occasionally the world (besides Iceland, it also had an instalment in Austin, Texas during SXSW 2023).


ACIDFEST BRISTOL marks the third time we hit Bristol, and if you've been to one of ourw events before you know you can't miss this one!

Thee Lucifer Sams are true visionaries, refusing to put their music on platforms such as Spotify or having social media. Their mix of semi-improvised psychedelic noise draws equally from the abstraction of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Lemmy's Hawkwind and Sonic Youth noise - with no songs just a full-on psychedelic rollercoaster of sound.

Oscillator are an amazing psych trio from Northampton, offering exciting, chaotic psychedelia, and playing Bristol for the very first time.

Madonovan is the best shoegaze artist you've never heard before, and an unique concept - a tribute to itself, covering songs written, but never released, over 30 years ago. A cathartic ode to lost youth, dreams and rock'n'roll itself.

Dominoes is a brilliant, solo artist who's equal parts Ivor Cutler and Syd Barrett. Rich in melody, ideas and whimsy, you are sure to enjoy his set.

ACIDFEST also features a killer, exclusive psych playlist to keep you in the mood before and after each act, as well as trippy visuals to create an unique atmosphere.It is more than just a "gig", but a true happening. This is what the Liverpool Psychedelic Society always offers at our events: an unique experience, something that the mainstream is unable to offer, truly grassroots and open to all.

This is not about any "scene", we just create our own culture and everyone is welcome to enjoy... so come and join the society!
