FlixBus Brings the Fun and Fans to FORWARDS Festival

Coach travel brand FlixBus is the official transport partner of FORWARDS Festival in Bristol, bringing thousands of fans to the city throughout the bank holiday weekend.

The weekend kicks off with FORWARDS PRESENTS: LORDE on Friday 28 August, followed by a jam-packed lineup of artists on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August.

"FORWARDS is the highlight of the Bristol summer, and FlixBus is proud to partner with such an exciting and vibrant festival, helping fans travel easily and affordably,” said Sarah Bartlett, PR Lead at FlixBus UK.

In a world-exclusive, the brand will also be bringing its viral social media icon ‘Slay Bus’ to real life for the first time at the festival. FlixBus will be surprising fans every day of the festival as they take selfies on the stand, with exclusive prizes up for grabs, as well as free Wi-Fi.

How to get to Bristol

Reliable, comfortable long-distance coach travel from across the UK is provided by FlixBus, with over 100 departures and arrivals at Bristol Bus Station on Marlborough Street daily. Tickets start from just £4.49.

How to get to the festival

From Bristol Bus Station, festivalgoers can make their way to the shuttle from First Bus, which goes from Bristol Temple Meads and Queen Square on Prince Street before dropping passengers outside the festival entrance. Single shuttle tickets cost £8.

Shuttle buses to the site run from 11.30am at frequent intervals. Return services back to Temple Meads and the city centre run throughout the day until midnight, so there's no rush to leave before the final act.
