Tickets: circu5.com/bristol Bristols Old Market is set for a sonic takeover this September as two of the South Wests most formidable progressive acts collide for a high-octane double bill. Following the success of their 2025 masterpiece Clockwork Tulpa, Swindons CIRCU5 bring their razor-sharp, narrative-driven rock to the Exchange stage. Expect a masterclass in tension and release from the band as they weave the dark, cinematic tales of "Grady" through a web of jagged riffs and infectious melodies. Joining the fray are Oxfordshires own Forgotten Gods, the melodic-prog heavyweights who have been taking the festival circuit by storm. Fresh from road-testing brand new material for their highly anticipated second album, the bandled by the stellar guitar solos of Steve Harris & the soaring vocals of Mark Cunninghamdelivers a lush, expansive sound that bridges the gap between classic neo-prog and modern anthemic rock. Whether you're a festival regular or a newcomer to the scene, this is a rare chance to catch two bands at the absolute top of their game in one of the UKs finest independent venues.
