Barrow promising a 'mini-festival'
Portishead's Geoff Barrow is to curate a takeover of Bristol's Colston Hall.
Barrow's label, Invada, is to stage a one-day event at the re-launched venue called 'Invada Invasion' on September 26.
The venue's three performance rooms will feature a variety of acts from Invada, plus Fuck Buttons, who played for Barrow at the Portishead-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival in 2007, and Zu.
Barrow explained: "The lunatics are taking over the asylum.... There's going to be lots of amazing noise and interesting things to stare at," before adding it is going to be "like a mini festival."
The Invada Invasion is the climax of a full week of events celebrating the £20m relaunch of the 142-year-old foyer, which has hosted performances host performances from Buddy Holly, The Beatles, Joy Division, The Clash, The Strokes and The Rolling Stones.
