The Outlook Orchestra, Roots Manuva and special guests Horace Andy, Dawn Penn, Loyle Carner, Lloyd’s Amphitheater and more will take the stage at Bristol’s Harbourside, where the 10,000-capacity amphitheater is located.

The site can host more than the 2,000-capacity Colston Hall. The event not only is a celebration of Colston Hall’s 150th anniversary, but also kicks off this year’s Bristol Harbour Festival weekend.

Outlook Orchestra was assembled in light of Outlook Festival’s 10th anniversary, taking place Sept. 6-10 at Fort Punta Christo in Croatia.

The festival is renowned for its musical selection, which ranges from bass, reggae and hip-hop to dubstep and drum and bass. “Distilling that essence into a 100-minute live orchestral performance is quite some feat,” said Tommy Evans, who will lead the orchestra.
