Celebrated curators AMAAD who are behind some of Europe’s most celebrated festivals including Love Supreme, The Long Road, ION, and Junction 2, are set to take over as the operators of the 25,000 sq ft St Philips warehouse named The Prospect Building in Bristol, UK.
The Prospect Building marks an exciting time for the city’s culture and nightlife, where supporting the scene, local venues, and communities couldn’t be more important. The new cultural space will showcase over 20 years of experience in bringing together musicians, creatives, and entertainers across all genres located at 45 Feeder Road.
The venue’s new music series will see AMAAD partnering with local club promoters including Team Love, The Blast, and Dance Corp, as well as touring artists, to bring a diverse range of sounds to the space. The Prospect Building’s first 12 months are set to showcase music from jazz and country through to house, drum and bass, and techno. Programming kicks off imminently, announcing huge bookings with Honey Dijon (20th July), Overmono (28th September) and Bonobo (19th October).
The space, formerly known as Propyard, is currently benefiting from significant investment. Alongside bolstered cloakroom and washroom facilities, return visitors can expect an artisan food and drink offering, with local suppliers including St Philips locals, Lost and Grounded. A stand-out feature of the new space will be its state-of-the-art sound design, which has been developed in partnership with world-class audio manufacturers, L-Acoustics. The cutting-edge system will elevate live entertainment at the venue while minimizing the external impact on the neighbouring community.
Amongst hosting key music events in the city, the venue will also celebrate a cross-section of entertainment, with comedy, sport and pop-up food, drink and fashion markets taking place at the venue throughout 2024 and beyond. Paul Jack and Will Harold, founders of AMAAD, said: “We can’t wait to get the doors open and welcome Bristol to our new home. It’s such an incredible space with so much opportunity in a city buzzing with talent and creativity. We have worked for many years with Bristol institutions like Team Love, and we’re collaborating with a network of local businesses and communities to create a venue that will serve Bristol’s cultural community, and become a hub of culture within the wider development of Temple Quarter and St Philips Marsh.”
