Introduction to the rave scene in Bristol

Bristol's influence on the UK’s electronic music scene is insurmountable. From an intimate underground rave to large-scale events, Bristol raves are synonymous with innovative soundscapes and cutting-edge production.

The Prospect Building is the city’s latest hub for electronic music, bringing fully immersive production experiences and huge acts to Bristol who are headlining major events. We have packed some huge names in the hectic schedule of our impressive lineup.

The Origins of The Prospect Building in Bristol

AMAAD is the team behind The Prospect Building. Known for our stage creating, we have captivated audiences worldwide and led a trailblazing force in the festival and rave scene in Albania with ION Festival. Our new age event curation has sold out tickets at both small venues and huge festival grounds.

We have chosen Bristol to be our first location for a permanent space. The cultural landscape of the city is where both local and international talent are appreciated.

Alongside venues that are key to the city's history like Bristol motion, Lost Horizon HQ, and clock factory Bristol, The Prospect Building is solidifying its status as a key player in hosting major events that resonate within the rich rave history of Bristol.

A Unique Space for Unique Event Experiences

At AMAAD, we never fail to create a fully immersive production experience.

We have included state-of-the-art Void Acoustics ensuring pristine audio quality and a sensory lighting installation with a lightroom floor experience in our latest venture, that are essential to any rave.

The Prospect Building blends the underground energy of smaller Bristol venues like Clock Factory Bristol with the grandeur needed for major events.

The Day Rave Phenomenon: Redefining Party Culture

Bristol has become a hub for day rave events, spanning through techno, house, and bass genres.

A day rave has all the joy of an original style rave but earlier last entry and time tickets mean you can party on a Sunday and still make it to work on Monday.

The Prospect Building continues the legacy of the Bristol day event, capturing the spirit of the city's ever-evolving party culture.

Collaboration with the Creative Communities in Bristol and getting local acts headlining major events

We have committed to collaborating with the thriving creative community in Bristol.

The venue serves as a platform for local artists, DJs, and collectives, fostering a sense of unity within the Bristol rave scene.

Drum and Bass is integral to the music scene in Bristol. From the late DJ Dominator's influence to the three members of TNA featuring azza, Nu Elementz's energetic production, and Grima's innovative flow. Even international DnB producers like Belgium producer Maze flock to Bristol, since they know tickets will immediately sell out for a DnB rave in the city.

The TNA revolution persists and we pay homage to the rich history of DnB in Bristol with our lineups that are spotlighting MCs and other local talent.

We are bringing acts that have captivated audiences worldwide to Bristol

We cant wait to bring some of the best event promoters and artists to Bristol. We are bringing Junction 2 and Fabric to Bristol for the first time for an event in November to showcase a diverse range of genres, from techno and house to drum and bass (which you can still get tickets for).

The event lineups that we have created so far have been incredible. We have hosted artists with a global following, from Hedex's My Home is the Rave to DJ Mag cover star Ki/Ki.

The Sound and Lighting Experience

The commitment to high-quality production remains a cornerstone of our identity at AMAAD. The venue employs Void Acoustics to ensure impeccable sound quality, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the pulsating beats.

This attention to audio fidelity creates an environment where every drop and every build-up resonates, connecting the audience to the music.

Coupled with innovative sensory lighting installations, the venue transforms into a visual spectacle that captivates the senses, providing a unique backdrop for each event.

What’s Next for The Prospect Building and Bristol’s Rave Scene

The Prospect Building is set to continue its evolution as a key player in the Bristol scene. We want to celebrate House, Techno, and Drum and Bass, and more. Our aim is to bring exciting new music to the city while paying respects to the pioneers like TNA commands.

Our 12 week Winter Music Series has already begun, showcasing the very best across the full spectrum of dance music and beyond. Remember to save the date for our latest event on the 26th of October and we can't wait to see you there!
