Love Saves the Day 2025

Love Saves The Day in Bristol was an absolute burst of colour, energy, and great vibes this year. From the moment you walked through the gates, you could feel the excitement in the air — everyone smiling, dancing, and ready for a good time. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with a real sense of community among festivalgoers. It’s one of those events where you end up chatting to strangers, sharing moments, and feeling like you’re part of something bigger.
The festival site itself was really well set up. There were plenty of food options — whether you were after something hearty, vegan, sweet, or spicy, you were sorted. Queues moved quickly, and there were nice little seating areas where you could take a break between sets. A big plus was the easy access to toilets and fresh drinking water, which can sometimes be a headache at festivals but wasn’t an issue here at all.
Musically, it was a dream for electronic music lovers. My personal highlights were the insane energy of the 4AM Kru — they had the crowd bouncing non-stop. Nia Archives delivered a brilliant set too, with her jungle and drum & bass beats hitting just right. Wilkinson was another massive moment, absolutely smashing it with his signature sound and pulling one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. You could really tell people came specifically for those big names, and they didn’t disappoint.
If I had one gripe, it’s that some of the top acts were scheduled at the same time, forcing you to make tough choices. It’s always a shame when you’re hyped for two artists but can only catch one because of a clash. A little more staggered scheduling could make the experience even better and let people soak in more of the lineup without missing out.
Overall, Love Saves The Day delivered a fantastic weekend packed with music, good food, great people, and a lively atmosphere. I’d give it a solid 8/10 — it’s a festival that knows how to bring people together and throw a proper party, and I’m already looking forward to next year.
Bristol's vibrant urban festival, uniquely showcasing the city's thriving music scene alongside international acts. Set in Ashton Court, it stands out for its strong focus on local talent, eco-friendly initiatives, and a diverse lineup that reflects Bristol's multicultural spirit and bass music heritage.
