Something special is brewing in Bridport this year.
Rising Dorset band Leonian Dream have announced a three-show residency at the Bridport Arts Centre, bringing a carefully curated mix of local talent and genre-blending live music to the venue across 2026.
The full lineup drops at midday on Thursday 19 March, with each show offering a completely different sound and atmosphere, all hosted by Leonian Dream themselves.
Three Nights, Three Sounds
Rather than repeating the same formula, this residency is all about variety. Each date leans into a different corner of the indie spectrum, spotlighting emerging artists from across the South West.
Friday 17 July 2026
Headliner: Leonian Dream
Expect a dreamy blend of indie rock, indie pop and funk, with ethereal vocals and laid-back, melodic soundscapes setting the tone for a hazy summer evening.
Saturday 26 September 2026
Headliner: Leonian Dream
This one turns the volume up. Think indie rock colliding with pop punk, packed with grungy guitars, punchy hooks and plenty of energy.
Saturday 21 November 2026
Headliner: Leonian Dream
Supporting: Kate Hall, George Hall
A richer, groove-led night to close the series. Expect roots rock, soulful indie and funk-infused rhythms for a warmer, deeper live experience.
Championing the South West Scene
More than just a headline slot, this residency sees Leonian Dream stepping into a curator role, handpicking lineups and creating a platform for emerging artists across the region.
Each night features a three-band bill, giving audiences the chance to discover new music while supporting the growing South West scene.

One to Watch in Dorset’s Live Scene
With three distinct shows, a strong focus on local talent and a clear creative vision behind each night, this residency feels like more than just a run of gigs.
It’s a statement.
And for Dorset gig-goers, it’s a chance to experience something a bit different, three times over.
