The Bristol day festival shall once again feature a diverse array of acts, including music from Keo, Ain’t & Brian Nasty

Bristolโ€™s multi-venue music festival, Ritual Union has dropped their first wave of acts… and it’s one to remember!

On the 28th of March, Keo will take the headlining spot, bringing a mixture of Wunderhorseโ€™s gritty vocals and Jeff Buckleyโ€™s songwriting to the stage. This falls halfway through their UK & Europe run, having released their debut EP, ‘Siren‘, earlier this year.

Joining the alt rock band will be the likes of Ainโ€™t, a much-loved act from previous Ritual Union events, renowned for their 90s-inspired guitars. They spoke out on social media, announcing that they were โ€œstoked to be joining all these many stellar bandsโ€ next March. Many fans will be looking forward to hearing the bandโ€™s youthful and nostalgic songs one more time.

Brian Nasty is another standout performer in the ’26 lineup, currently supporting previous All Points East headliner, Loyle Carner. Brian Nasty is sure to capture fans’ hearts and the attention of the industry with his witty lyrics and melodies from the world of jazz. Having released a set of singles last week, and undoubtedly more music to come, the timing is perfect for him to play Ritual Union.

Rough Trade, Electric Bristol and Strange Brew will be host to many more captivating performances across the day-long festival, including a late night โ€œAfterglowโ€ led by Ninajirachi, previously seen at Coachella. Tickets are on sale now on Ritual Unionโ€™s website.

Ritual Union shall take place on Saturday 28th March Strange Brew, Rough Trade and Electric Bristol.
