The people behind Feast On are bringing a night of West End musicals, another headlined by a BRIT Award winner, and even a night of famed euphoric house DJs
A brand new three day music event series is coming to the Downs this summer, from the team behind Bristol food festival, Feast On. Taking place after the foodie event, Feast Live will kick off with what is said to be a first-of-its-kind event to Bristol, The Sound of West End Musicals, on July 31.
Combining live music and the magic of musical theatre, The Sound of West End Musicals will include songs from the likes of Wicked, Les Misérables, Chicago, The Lion King and many more, in Bristol’s first ever open air live musical spectacular. The show will feature more than 60 performers, including performers that have featured in hit shows such as Wicked, Miss Saigon, Joseph and The Wizard of Oz.
But that isn’t all, as two more nights of music also make up the line-up for the event. The next show on the three day line-up, on Saturday, August 1, will see the iconic Haçienda Classical take over The Downs, bringing the famous combination of live orchestral music and club culture to Bristol for the first time in almost a decade.
Channelling the spirit of the legendary nightclub The Haçienda, revellers can expect a full live orchestra, headline DJs and live vocalists coming together to perform the classic anthems which defined a generation, spanning everything from euphoric house to acid house classics.
The weekend will then close on Sunday, August 2, headlined by two time BRIT Award winner Becky Hill, who will be bringing her most ambitious open-air show to date to The Downs. Becky will be landing in Bristol fresh off the back of her acclaimed second album, ‘Believe Me Now?’ Organisers say fans can expect a headline set defined by ’empowerment, emotion and pure summer euphoria’, set against the open skyline of this unique series of events.
Speaking about the series of events, Feast Productions founder James Haggart said: “We were overwhelmed by the response to our food festival, Feast On, over the last two years, and felt an open-air music series was the natural progression for the Feast brand. The space works so well for these kinds of large-scale events and we’re so excited to bring such a diverse range of events to Bristol, offering something for all tastes!”
