The landlord of a pub which hosts a party so big they need to shut down the street for the day is promising this year\u2019s event will have a new and bigger line up than before.<\/p>\n

It will be the fourth year running that the Coronation pub in Southville will host the Kingston Road Street Party – an event which was born from the Covid pandemic restrictions but has since grown into one of the biggest community events of its kind in Bristol.<\/p>\n

The event will see the east end of Kingston Road closed from late morning this Saturday, May 3, with the party going right through from 12 noon to 11pm.<\/p>\n

The early afternoon is more of a family friendly event, with music and dance gearing up on the street party stage outside the pub later in the afternoon and into the evening.<\/p>\n

A line-up of new acts has been announced, with the event ending as usual with an hour long silent disco from 10pm.<\/p>\n

Things kick off from noon with two 45-minute family-friendly shows from Adam Richard Magic. From 2pm, the first music act gets involved – Retro Reveries with a duo playing acoustic originals and covers. At 3pm, local duo Albex will take to the stage, and from 4pm, a local country and rock duo called Double who do a blend of originals and covers spanning Americana, jazz and folk.<\/p>\n

The Bristol samba band Batala Bristol have done the last three Kingston Road Street Parties and they will perform twice – first and 5pm and again at 7pm.<\/p>\n

In between, at 6pm, a trio called Basic Pleasure Model will truly get the party started with multi-coloured jumpsuits, 80s pop bangers and inflatable instruments to encourage that extra bit of audience participation.<\/p>\n

The evening will get underway after Batala\u2019s second set with Big Mambo, a four-piece all-female Bristol band who blend original funk, pop and rock. Topping the bill from 9pm will be Cleo and Petra, a femal-led Bristol-based rock band, who combine soprano vocals and skilful guitar solos, punchy basslines and distinctive rhythm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a diverse range of family friendly free music and entertainment all day, with vegan and non vegan food served next to the outside bar,\u201d explained Coronation landlord Ben Cheshire.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur list of entertainment includes a magic show at the early part of the day, a range of solo and acoustic acts in the afternoon, followed by two performances of samba and in the evening we have three bands to perform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ending with the silent disco has three different channels of music to get you dancing too,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The idea emerged from the pandemic and this year’s will be bigger and better than ever beforeA street…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,920,4884,9028,10002,10750,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-62038","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-events","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-pubs-and-bars-in-bristol","14":"tag-south-bristol","15":"tag-southville","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114425105233139281","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
