A pilot event. A growing movement.
Power Town Festival began in 2021 as a bold pilot — a community-led creative celebration rooted in St Pauls, Bristol. What started as one stage and a handful of local artists quickly proved there was a real hunger for a festival that truly reflected the city.
Each year since, it has grown — in scale, in ambition, and in the number of underrepresented artists given a platform. Power Town Festival is not just an event. It is proof that community-led culture can thrive, and it is only getting started.
Artists who brought
the heat.
Power Town Festival has hosted some of the UK's most exciting artists. Here's a look at the talent that lit up our stages.
Donae'o
HeadlinerUK Funky · Afrobeats · R&B
One of the UK's most beloved artists, Donae'o brought his signature energy and infectious sound to the Power Town stage — delivering a set that had the whole crowd moving from the first beat to the last.
Kenny AllStar
HeadlinerUK Rap · Grime · MC
One of the most respected MCs in the UK, Kenny AllStar brought raw energy and lyrical precision to the Power Town stage — a performance that cemented the festival's reputation for booking the very best in British music.
Bristol's finest.
Power Town is committed to shining a light on underrepresented local artists — giving Bristol's emerging talent a platform to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Every artist featured here is part of a community we believe in.
What people say.
It brought about feelings of community within Bristol. It was an open event put on by a neutral party platforming black music and artistry. There was no tension or violence which I feel is significant for the community.
You felt welcomed and a part of a family / community from the moment you walked in.
The community can see a black owned company produce such a great event.
It has made a difference to the way I see festivals can be done.
DJ
CLASH
DJ Clash brought together DJs from across the UK for a head-to-head battle, with talent representing Bristol, Birmingham and beyond. Each DJ brought their own sound, style and energy to the stage, competing to take home the title.
