Love Saves The Day 2027 – Music Festival UK

What to expect in 2027

Love Saves The Day 2027 is set to return to Ashton Court in Bristol as one of the city’s major electronic music festivals. The festival combines large-scale dance music programming with underground sounds, drum and bass, UK garage, house, techno, jungle, grime, bass music and performances from Bristol’s local music community.

The official festival website is currently inviting visitors to sign up for first access to 2027 tickets and lineup news. This means the 2027 edition is in its announcement and planning phase, with the full artist programme and detailed festival information still to be revealed.

Love Saves The Day is particularly associated with multi-stage programming. Recent editions have brought together established electronic artists, influential DJs, live acts, emerging performers and Bristol-based talent across a large festival site at Ashton Court.

The festival’s identity is strongly connected with dance music culture. Previous programmes have included drum and bass, jungle, UK garage, dubstep, house, techno, grime, bass and other electronic styles. Rather than concentrating on one sound, the event spreads different musical communities across separate stages and performance spaces.

The 2027 edition is expected to continue this multi-stage approach, although the final stages, artist announcements and timetable should be confirmed by the organisers before the festival.

Love Saves The Day is an 18+ event. Visitors should therefore be prepared to show suitable identification at entry, while the festival also operates age-verification procedures at bars.

The event also places emphasis on sustainability, inclusion and supporting Bristol’s grassroots cultural scene. The organiser describes environmental responsibility as part of the festival’s production, partnerships and wider operations.

Venue & festival site

Love Saves The Day takes place at Ashton Court Estate, a large green-field estate overlooking Bristol. The festival site provides extensive outdoor space for multiple stages, bars, food traders, performance areas and other festival facilities.

Venue: Ashton Court Estate

Area: Long Ashton

City: Bristol

Country: United Kingdom

Festival site: Ashton Court Estate, Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41 9JN

The official festival FAQ identifies Ashton Court as an open green-field environment with limited tarmac paths around some entrances and exits. Much of the festival site consists of uneven ground and inclines, making comfortable footwear particularly useful.

The outdoor character of Ashton Court also means that weather can have a significant effect on the ground. Wet conditions may make parts of the site muddy, while dry conditions can create uneven or dusty surfaces.

The festival site is designed as a walking environment, with different stages and areas spread across the estate. Visitors should therefore expect to walk between performances rather than remaining in one location throughout the day.

Full lineup

The full Love Saves The Day 2027 lineup has not yet been announced.

The official website is currently collecting registrations for first access to 2027 lineup news, which indicates that artist announcements are still to come.

Visitors should not treat artists from previous editions as confirmed 2027 performers.

The festival’s recent programming provides an indication of its musical range. The previous programme included artists such as Sub Focus, Confidence Man DJs, Katy B, Pearson Sound, Hamdi, Enei, Mella Dee, DJ Die, Tim Reaper, Sam Binga, Pinch, Nicky Blackmarket, Goldie, Joy Orbison, Koven, Special Request, Sir Spyro, Rizzle Kicks, Hedex, Sammy Virji and Yung Singh. These performers belong to the previous programme and are not confirmed for 2027.

Earlier editions have also featured major names including Overmono, Nia Archives, Andy C, Shy FX, Groove Armada, Wilkinson, Skream & Benga, Camo & Krooked, Netsky, Mall Grab, Eats Everything, Hybrid Minds, Ghetts, Giggs and Jyoty.

Headliners & featured artists

Love Saves The Day has not yet announced its 2027 headliners.

The festival has historically used headline performances to showcase major figures from electronic and bass music. Previous editions have placed artists such as Overmono and Nia Archives in headline positions, while Andy C, Groove Armada, Wilkinson, Shy FX, Skream & Benga and other major electronic artists have appeared within the wider programme.

The festival’s headline approach is generally supported by a much larger programme of DJs, live performers and specialist stage residents.

For 2027, the eventual headline announcements are expected to provide the clearest indication of the musical direction of the edition. Until those announcements are made, historical performers should only be regarded as examples of previous programming.

Stages & performance areas

Love Saves The Day is known for its extensive multi-stage format. Recent editions have featured numerous specialist stages, allowing different genres and scenes to operate simultaneously.

Recent stage and performance areas have included:

• Love Saves Stage
• Centre Stage
• The Big Top
• Transmission
• Brouhaha
• Firmly Rooted
• Dubtendo
• The Inflatable Church
• Additional specialist and partner stages

The exact 2027 stage names and layout have not yet been confirmed.

The Love Saves Stage has traditionally served as one of the festival’s principal performance areas, featuring major electronic acts and headline-scale performances.

The Big Top has been associated with drum and bass, jungle and bass-focused programming, with previous performances from artists including Andy C, Eats Everything, DJ Die, 4am Kru and Arthi.

Transmission has offered another platform for bass, garage, jungle and electronic artists.

Brouhaha has provided house and underground dance programming, while Firmly Rooted has offered another specialist electronic music environment.

The variety of stages allows visitors to create their own musical itinerary rather than following a single main-stage programme.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The detailed 2027 stage-by-stage schedule has not yet been released.

Love Saves The Day normally builds its timetable around multiple simultaneous stages, meaning visitors can expect overlapping performances and frequent choices between artists.

Historical schedules demonstrate the depth of the programming. Previous editions have featured individual stage timetables running from afternoon performances through evening headline slots, with different genres operating simultaneously across the site.

For 2027, visitors should wait for the official timetable before planning specific stage movements.

A useful strategy will be to identify the artists that are essential to see, then build the rest of the day around nearby stages. Because the festival site is spread across Ashton Court, allowing walking time between performances can help avoid missing the beginning of another set.

Set times

2027 set times have not yet been announced.

The official timetable is normally the definitive source for performance start times and stage allocations. Visitors should check the festival’s official channels and app or timetable information once the 2027 programme becomes available.

Historical programming has shown performances beginning around midday and continuing through the evening, with major headline sets taking place later in the festival day. A previous published timetable included afternoon appearances from emerging artists followed by increasingly prominent performances before evening headline slots.

Set times can change because of production requirements, artist circumstances, operational considerations or other festival factors, so visitors should check the final timetable shortly before attending.

Ticket types

The 2027 ticket structure and current admission prices have not yet been announced.

Love Saves The Day has previously used several ticket categories, including weekend admission and individual day tickets. Earlier ticketing has also used tiered pricing, with ticket costs changing as allocations sell.

For historical reference, a previous edition advertised a weekend ticket at approximately $161, a Saturday ticket at approximately $84, and a Sunday ticket at approximately $81, based on published prices of £119.50, £62.50 and £60 respectively and an approximate exchange rate of $1.35 to £1.

These figures are historical reference prices only and should not be treated as confirmed 2027 prices.

The official festival FAQ also states that the organiser has offered an affordable or low-income ticket scheme for people who may otherwise find standard admission difficult to afford. Visitors interested in this option can contact the festival directly for information about eligibility and availability.

VIP & premium options

The exact 2027 VIP and premium ticket structure has not yet been announced.

Love Saves The Day has historically focused heavily on the festival-wide music experience rather than making VIP access the centre of the event. Any 2027 premium upgrades, hospitality facilities or special viewing areas should be confirmed through the official ticketing information when announced.

Accessibility facilities are separate from VIP arrangements and can include dedicated viewing platforms, accessible parking, accessible toilets, sensory calm spaces, British Sign Language support and lowered bars for eligible visitors who register in advance.

Visitors should therefore distinguish between premium hospitality products and accessibility provisions when reviewing the 2027 ticket options.

Event rules

Love Saves The Day operates an 18+ admission policy. Valid identification is required at entry, and the festival operates Challenge 25 procedures at bars, meaning anyone who appears under 25 may be asked to provide identification.

Age requirement: The festival is for adults aged 18 and over.

Identification: Visitors should bring acceptable physical identification showing their name, photograph and recognised security features. Photographs of identification are not accepted.

Re-entry: General re-entry is not permitted. The festival FAQ states that exceptions can be made for medical requirements.

Tickets: A valid ticket is required for entry, and lost or stolen tickets remain the purchaser’s responsibility.

Last entry: The published festival terms establish a last-entry policy, with the exact 2027 operating times to be confirmed.

Visitors should read the final terms and conditions before travelling because specific prohibited items, security arrangements and operational rules may be updated for the 2027 edition.

How to get there

Love Saves The Day takes place at Ashton Court, on the western side of Bristol near Long Ashton.

The main site address is:

Ashton Court Estate, Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41 9JN, United Kingdom

Pedestrian access has previously been provided via Kennel Lodge Road, with the festival operating dedicated transport and arrival arrangements around the site.

For visitors arriving in Bristol by train, Bristol Temple Meads is an important transport hub. The festival’s Love Bus service has previously connected Temple Meads with the festival transport network.

Visitors coming by road should check the official travel instructions before departure because road closures and controlled traffic arrangements may operate around Ashton Court during the festival.

Public transport & parking

Love Saves The Day encourages visitors to use public transport and festival transport services where possible.

The festival’s Love Bus has historically operated from several Bristol transport points, including:

• Bristol city centre
• Bristol Temple Meads railway station
• Long Ashton Park and Ride

The official FAQ states that Love Bus services have operated from late morning through to around midnight, or until festival visitors have left the site.

Previous published Love Bus fares were approximately $10 for a day return and $18 for a weekend return, based on fares of £7.50 and £13.50 and an approximate exchange rate of $1.35 to £1. These are historical reference prices and are not confirmed 2027 fares.

Taxi and private-hire arrangements have also been directed toward Long Ashton Park and Ride for arrivals, while Ashton Gate Stadium has been identified as a collection point for taxis and private-hire vehicles after the event.

Exact 2027 parking arrangements should be checked once the festival releases its updated transport information.

Accommodation areas

Love Saves The Day is not a camping festival, so visitors need to arrange accommodation separately.

The most convenient accommodation areas include:

Bristol city centre: A practical choice for visitors who want access to hotels, restaurants, nightlife and public transport.

Long Ashton: Staying near the festival location can reduce travel time and make taxi or local transport arrangements easier.

Clifton: This area provides a wide range of accommodation and is well connected with central Bristol.

Harbourside and central Bristol: Suitable for visitors who want to combine the festival with a wider Bristol city break.

Because the event attracts visitors from outside Bristol, accommodation can become limited around festival periods. Visitors travelling from elsewhere in the UK may therefore want to arrange accommodation soon after the 2027 festival dates are confirmed.

Food & drink

Food and drink are an important part of the Love Saves The Day experience. The festival works with food traders that are selected with attention to local sourcing, sustainability, fair employment and dietary requirements.

The organiser states that it aims to provide a diverse food selection while welcoming allergies and intolerances.

Recent festival food options have included:

• Burgers
• Jerk chicken
• Halloumi wraps
• Falafel
• Loaded chips
• Vegetarian meals
• Vegan options
• Gluten-free options
• Smoothies
• Festival snacks

For example, previous food traders have offered vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free and other dietary choices.

The festival also operates bars serving beer, cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and other drinks. Bar information from the previous edition included vegan and gluten-free drink options.

Food traders are required to provide ingredient, allergen and dietary information, although the festival warns that cross-contamination cannot always be guaranteed. Visitors with serious allergies should speak directly with individual traders before ordering.

Accessibility

Love Saves The Day provides a dedicated accessibility programme for Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent visitors.

The official accessibility information has included:

• Personal Assistant Ticket Scheme
• Accessible viewing platforms
• Accessible parking
• Accessible toilets
• Diverse sensory calm space
• British Sign Language support
• Lowered bars

Visitors must normally purchase their festival ticket and then complete the accessibility facilities request process with supporting documentation where required.

Ashton Court is predominantly an outdoor green-field site. There are limited tarmac paths, while other areas contain inclines and uneven ground. Wet weather can make the grass muddy and may make movement around the site more difficult.

An alternative entrance near the Accessibility Box Office and accessible parking area has previously been available to registered visitors.

The 2027 accessibility arrangements should be checked when the new information is published, particularly because the festival can update its facilities and application deadlines between editions.

Best days to attend

Because the 2027 lineup has not yet been announced, it is not currently possible to identify which individual festival day will contain particular headline artists.

For visitors who want the broadest possible experience, a full festival ticket provides access to the overall programme rather than requiring a choice between individual days.

A day-ticket visitor should wait for the 2027 lineup and timetable before selecting a specific day. Love Saves The Day’s previous programmes have divided major electronic artists across different days, while specialist stages have provided substantial programming throughout the festival.

Saturday: Historically associated with major headline-scale electronic performances and large multi-stage programming.

Sunday: Historically featured another major headline programme alongside drum and bass, jungle, house, bass and underground electronic acts.

The eventual 2027 artist announcements will provide the most useful information for visitors deciding which individual day to attend.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition featured a particularly broad electronic music programme across Saturday and Sunday.

The programme included artists such as Sub Focus, Confidence Man DJs, Eve, Katy B, Pearson Sound, Hamdi, Mella Dee, Enei, Enzo Siragusa, DJ Die, Tim Reaper, Sam Binga and Pinch. The Sunday programme included Sammy Virji, Rizzle Kicks, Hedex, Goldie, Joy Orbison, Koven, Special Request, Sir Spyro, Ray Keith, Gorgon Sound, Kahn & Neek, Yung Singh and many others.

The previous programme demonstrated the festival’s emphasis on bass-driven and electronic music while still allowing room for different sounds and performance styles.

Earlier editions also featured major artists including Overmono, Nia Archives, Andy C, Groove Armada, Wilkinson, Shy FX, Skream & Benga, Camo & Krooked, Netsky, Mall Grab, Eats Everything, Hybrid Minds, Ghetts, Giggs and Jyoty.

The festival’s previous programming also demonstrated its commitment to Bristol’s local and emerging music scene, with established international artists appearing alongside newer DJs and performers.

Official tickets

Love Saves The Day 2027 ticket information is being developed through the official festival website. The organiser is currently encouraging visitors to sign up for first access to 2027 ticket announcements and lineup news.

The festival has previously used tiered ticketing, meaning prices can change as earlier allocations sell out. Historical ticket prices should therefore be treated only as reference information rather than an indication of the final 2027 cost.

The official festival FAQ also states that tickets have historically been non-refundable, while Tixel has been used for secure fan-to-fan resale.

Visitors should purchase through the official festival ticketing route rather than relying on unofficial sellers. The official website is the appropriate place to check when 2027 tickets, lineup announcements and ticket categories become available.
