Love Saves The Day Music Festival 2025

Love Saves The Day is an annual music festival held in Bristol, England. The festival began in 2012 and has grown to become one of Bristol’s largest music events. Initially held at Castle Park in central Bristol, the festival later moved to Eastville Park, and in recent years has been held at Ashton Court.

The festival typically takes place over a weekend in late May or early June and features a diverse lineup of electronic music, dance, hip-hop, and alternative artists across multiple stages. It showcases both established international acts and emerging local talent from Bristol’s vibrant music scene.

The festival is known for its eclectic programming, combining different genres and styles of music. Past headliners have included notable artists such as Fatboy Slim, Chase & Status, Little Simz, and Years & Years, among many others.

Beyond the music, Love Saves The Day offers various entertainment options including art installations, food vendors featuring local cuisine, and themed areas that create different atmospheres throughout the festival grounds. The event has built a reputation for its creative production values and attention to detail in stage design and festival decoration.

The festival’s name is believed to be inspired by the New York disco venue “The Loft,” where DJ David Mancuso hosted parties called “Love Saves The Day” in the 1970s, paying homage to dance music culture’s roots.

Love Saves The Day has become an important part of Bristol’s cultural calendar, attracting thousands of attendees each year.
