Good Times Live is back in Chipping Sodbury, Bristol this May bank holiday, bringing six nights of music and comedy, plus family entertainment to kick off the summer in style. With one night already sold out and others close behind, demand is high – and tickets are moving fast.
Headliners this year span generations and genres, making Good Times Live one of the most diverse festival experiences of the season. The Human League kick things off with their iconic synth-pop sound, delivering timeless hits that defined a generation. Jessie J brings her powerhouse vocals and chart-topping hits, from explosive pop anthems to intimate, emotional performances. Tom Odell offers raw, heartfelt songwriting that resonates long after the last note. Madness guarantees high-energy ska classics that get the crowd dancing from start to finish, while Emeli Sandé adds soul, emotion, and unforgettable stage presence to the lineup.
Each night also features an impressive roster of special guests, many of whom could headline shows themselves. Fans can catch Lemar’s silky R&B tones, The Ordinary Boys’ infectious indie-rock energy, and local sensation Elles Bailey, whose powerhouse vocals are winning acclaim across the UK. With such variety, every night offers a slightly different experience – from chart-topping pop to nostalgic classics and emerging talent – ensuring there’s something for every taste.
Comedy is another highlight of Good Times Live. The Good Times Comedy Gala is headlined by Russell Howard, one of Britain’s funniest and most consistent performers. The Gala also features a mix of established comedians and rising stars, including local TikTok sensation Laura Newman and Leigh Francis, the comedian behind Keith Lemon. The result is a night packed with laughter, surprises, and moments you won’t forget.
Family fun is also a key part of the Good Times Live experience. CBeebies star Andy Day leads a dinosaur-themed Family Fiesta, offering five hours of entertainment suitable for children and adults alike. Dinomania brings a touch of prehistoric fun with interactive dinosaur experiences, while free inflatables, rides, and mini-raves make for a packed day of family-friendly excitement.
Event Director, James Murden, said “we couldn’t be more excited for our 2026 series of shows. To have artists of this calibre on our BIG stage here in Chipping Sodbury is a real ‘pinch me’ moment. It really
does feel like the start of a great summer here in the South West.”
