Founded in Bristol in December 2023, The Better Land launched itself onto the cities indie scene with a sold out opening night. From there the events grew. 2024 saw a nine-month residency at The Crown alongside The Better Land’s festival debut, where our resident DJ joined the lineup at Oxfordshire’s Truck Festival for a back-to-back set on the This Feeling stage.

​

Now in 2025 The Better Land starts a new chapter, on the third Saturday of every month, you can find The Better Land at The Lanes (22 Nelson Street, Bristol, BS1 2LE) for a night of all the best Indie bangers. Expect to hear our resident DJ playing all the best indie sounds both old and new, including: The Strokes / Fontaines DC / Arctic Monkeys / Courteeners / Franz Ferdinand / The Libertines / Kasabian / Bloc Party / The Killers / Tame Impala / Blossoms / Jamie T / Declan McKenna / Amy Macdonald / Blondie / Pulp / Suede / Blur / The Cure / The Smiths + more
