The DR John Cooper Clarke concert will take place on 11 October 2026 at the Bristol Beacon in the heart of Bristol, promising an electrifying evening of razor-sharp spoken-word poetry and punk-era wit. Renowned for his rapid-fire delivery and sardonic humour, Clarke will draw from his celebrated catalogue and newer material, turning each poem into a vivid, cinematic snapshot of modern life and memory. The Bristol Beacon’s intimate acoustics and striking architecture will amplify his cadence and stage presence, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to lean in for every line. Expect moments of biting social commentary, nostalgic flashes and lively audience interaction that make his performances both thought-provoking and joyously theatrical. Tickets are available through the venue and official outlets, so make plans early to secure your place at this unmissable night of poetry and performance.
