ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Mercians are here to blow the roof off Thekla with their thunderous, swaggering indie-rock. Bristol, get ready to get your socks rocked off.
For one night only, The Mercians are taking over the legendary Thekla boat venue in Bristol. This five-piece indie juggernaut will be bringing their wall-of-sound live show to the intimate, industrial-chic setting of the Thekla, nestled right on the waterfront and just a short walk from Temple Meads station. Expect a sweaty, high-energy set packed with towering riffs, pummeling rhythms, and frontman Liam's raw, impassioned vocals - this is indie-rock at its most gloriously uncompromising. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking to get your weekend off to a phenomenal start, The Mercians' show at Thekla is not to be missed. Tickets are a very reasonable £15-20, so gather your mates and prepare to lose your minds in the pit.
