The details, in daylight
Lily Fitts played Exchange Bristol in Bristol on 31 August 2026. This show has already taken place — see Lily Fitts's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
Exchange sits on Old Market, a short walk east of Cabot Circus, and is run as a community-owned, not-for-profit independent venue — the kind of room that survives on Arts Council support, Music Venue Trust backing and people turning up. Two floors, a stage on each, and a booking policy that leans towards touring indie, punk, psych and hardcore bands on their way up rather than through. Tickets go through Headfirst Bristol. Over-14s at most shows; under-18s with an adult. Lily Rose Fitts, born on 9 December 2000, is an American singer-songwriter from Topsfield, Massachusetts, whose sound blends indie folk and alt-country.
Asked about the venue
About Exchange Bristol
What time do gigs finish at Exchange Bristol?
Most are done between 10pm and 11pm — that is the venue's own rule of thumb. Exchange posts stage times on social media when the promoter sends them through, and set times are always printed at the door on the night.
What is the capacity of Exchange Bristol?
250 on the main stage, plus 100 in the basement room that opened in 2025 — which Exchange cheerfully calls the best 100-capacity stage in the world. Two stages in one building on Old Market, so check which room your ticket names.
What is the age limit at Exchange Bristol?
Gigs are 14+ unless the listing says otherwise, and under-18s need an adult with them. Club nights, and any night running past 11pm, are strictly 18+. Bring ID — they reserve the right to refuse entry without it.
Where can I park near Exchange Bristol?
After 5pm the streets behind the venue have free bay parking, and Old Market Street itself is free from 6.45pm. Otherwise Cabot Circus car park is about 1.2 miles away. Bristol Temple Meads is an 800m walk and taxis drop off directly outside.
