Hundreds of top street artists will head to Bristol this weekend for the annual Upfest event.

Taking place in locations across the South of the City, including The Tobacco Factory and Hen and Chicken, spectators are invited to watch the live painting extravaganza.

Upfest Europe’s largest urban art festival has announced the impressive international line up for its fifth year and has unveiled plans to take over the cultural home of UK graffiti, Bristol.

This year Upfest has attracted over 250 of the most groundbreaking graffiti artists the world has to offer. Descending onto Southville, Bristol they will consume over two miles of the city to paint live for three days and create over 20,000 square foot of artwork.
