Brisfest 2013 tickets are now on sale, with early bird prices £26 for this year’s festival which returns to Ashton Court over the weekend of September 21 and 22.

Organisers will be hoping for better weather than last year, which saw a deluge on the Sunday that nevertheless did not dampen the spirits of Bristol’s hardy music fans.

This year’s festival promises 15 stages with more than 500 performances, with music from folk to heavy metal.

There will also be street art, fairground rides, large scale projection mapping displays, club tents, a dedicated childrens area, young people’s stage, music workshops, dance classes, chill-out area, stand-up comedy, cabaret shows, a therapy area, and local and international food and drink.
