Downard

Downard are a Bristol-based group active since 2012, carving out a distinctive presence in the UK’s vibrant live music landscape. Emerging from the city’s fertile underground scene, Downard have engaged listeners with an adventurous sound, as heard on their 2014 EP SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS. Their catalogue features compelling tracks such as “BREAKFAST ARRANGEMENTS,” “CUT IT IN MELLOW,” and “SCARY MORNING,” each testament to their creative approach and musical dexterity.

Known for dynamic concert performances, Downard continue to assert their artistry on stage. In July 2026, they are set to appear as a support act at Bristol’s respected Exchange venue during the “day of liberation” event, sharing the bill with a thoughtfully curated lineup. This event is headlined by the genre-defying SUGAR HORSE and features other luminaries including SLY & THE FAMILY DRONE and CARE HOME, reflecting Downard’s alignment with forward-thinking contemporaries in the scene.

With a reputation for immersive gigs and a growing discography, Downard remain a band to watch within Bristol’s alternative music community. For those eager to experience their next chapter live, be sure to follow Downard and keep an eye out for upcoming shows and tour dates.
