The world famous Oktoberfest is coming back to Bristol. For two nights and one afternoon only, the Passenger Shed at Brunel's Old Station will be transformed into a Bavarian Wunderland, offering a taste of authentic German culture, tongue in cheek German stereotyping and general all round debauchery.

Its list of artists, both live and within the ever changing Electro Technologies/ DJ Scene remains as good as any to be found anywhere and over the years has won much critical acclaim.
