  • Bristol's Simple Things has released the first round of acts for its 2016 festival. The bulk of the event will take place on Saturday, October 22nd across four venues: Colston Hall, O2 Academy Bristol, The Island and Lakota. This year's DJ lineup includes headliner Ben UFO, Minimal Wave boss Veronica Vasicka and breakthrough duo Red Axes, as well as Tim Sweeney, Helena Hauff, Crazy Cousinz, DJ Spinn, Lena Willikens, Boris, Traxman, Evan Baggs, Massimiliano Pagliara, Mike Servito and Karen Gwyer. The live contingent is a similarly mixed bag, ranging from the sultry pop of RA Sessions star Jessy Lanza to the intense sonics of Powell and SUUNS. Abra, Steve Mason, AJ Tracey, Harvey Sutherland and LA four-piece Warpaint are also booked. More acts will be added in the coming months. There will be a closing concert the following evening with horror soundtrack master John Carpenter at Colston Hall.
