Four Bristol New Year's Eve 2026 events with times, last entry, line-ups, prices where published and the conflicts between sources on Moon Festival.
Bristol's New Year's Eve 2026 on Thursday 31 December is built around bass music: Moon Festival at Sawmills, a Lakota takeover and a Clock Factory jungle night, plus a pop-leaning ABBA party at the O2 Academy. This post sets out times, last entry, line-ups and prices where they were published.
It also flags where sources disagree on addresses and line-ups. For the rest of the city, see the Bristol nightlife guide.
Facts checked on 22 October 2026. Line-ups, prices, sold-out status and transport plans change, so confirm on the organiser page before you go.
Moon Festival 2026: The Extraordinary Civilisation, promoted by Invicta Audio and Bris-Tek, bills itself as the UK's biggest New Year's Eve dance music event. It runs 18:00 to 03:00 with last entry at 00:30, on six new stage builds: Nebula, Black Hole, Full Moon, Hyperspace, Eclipse and Be Your Alien. An interactive quest on the night offers prizes for completion. Resident Advisor lists tickets from £26 with no tiers or phases, and a separate after-party has its own Skiddle ticket page.
The music is drum and bass and jungle on Resident Advisor, and Skiddle adds UK garage, dubstep and grime. Names announced include Bladerunner, Eksman, Emily Makis, Upgrade, DJ Hazard, Enei, Original Sin, Burt Cope and Hang The DJs, and both pages say dozens of headliners are still to be announced.
Source conflicts. Resident Advisor gives the venue as Sawmills, 30 Pennywell Road, St Jude's, Bristol BS5 0TH, while Skiddle gives 10 Eugene Street, Bristol BS5 0TN. The line-ups also differ: Resident Advisor names Camo & Krooked and Badger (UK), which Skiddle's list does not, and Skiddle names Sub Zero, Vandal and Tokio Station (Live), which Resident Advisor does not. Resident Advisor's page metadata even shows 2027 while its body says 2026. Treat the ticket confirmation as the reference. A third site says the venue is walkable from Bristol Temple Meads.
Lakota is at 6 Upper York Street, Stokes Croft, Bristol BS2 8QN. Its New Year's Eve 2026 night runs 20:00 to 04:00, with last entry at 00:00, across five rooms using the whole complex. The organiser promises more than 50 artists across genres, with some headliners "kept under wraps for now", decor from Tribe of Frog, live dancers and performers, CO2 and confetti. No price is shown on the page.
Clock Factory NYE | The Future of Jungle runs 21:00 to 04:00 on two floors: the Lightroom Floor, with VOID Acoustics sound and a 28-screen lighting installation, and the 360° Floor, with a central booth and a three-point Danley sound system. The line-up is Clipz B2B Samurai Breaks, Hypershé, Jolie P (DJ and MC set), Origin8a & Propa, Pete Cannon, Silva Snipa, Sully and Tim Reaper, hosted by Blackeye, with Amelia Leigh and Deselecta in support. The page says "No ID, no entry". It gives the address as Silver Street, Bristol BS1 2AG in one place and 63 Union Street, Bristol BS1 2DU in another, so check the ticket.
ABBA Disco Wonderland: New Year's Eve at the O2 Bristol Academy, 8 Frogmore Street, Bristol BS1 5NA, runs 21:00 to 03:00 with last entry at 01:00. The listing promotes a live ABBA tribute act, DJs and dancers, with 70s, 80s and dance music, a midnight countdown and a confetti show. Tickets start at £9.99, and VIP experiences are mentioned without prices.
Resident Advisor: Moon Festival 2026, Skiddle: Moon Festival 2026, Techno Airlines: Moon Festival Bristol, Skiddle: Lakota New Year's Eve, Skiddle: Clock Factory NYE, Skiddle: ABBA Disco Wonderland and Skiddle: Bristol New Year's Eve events.
