Jessie J to Headline Thursday at Good Times Live in Chipping Sodbury
There are certain voices that don’t just fill a field – they stop it in its tracks. This May, one of Britain’s boldest and most brilliant performers will do exactly that as Jessie J headlines Thursday 21st May at Good Times Live 2026 in Chipping Sodbury, Bristol.
From the first note, you know it’s her. That unmistakable power. That clarity. That control. A voice that can soar effortlessly above a festival crowd one moment and strip everything back to spine-tingling stillness the next. Ever heard a note that freezes time? You will.
Since bursting onto the scene with “Price Tag”, Jessie J has built a catalogue that refuses to sit still. “Domino” radiates pure pop euphoria. “Bang Bang” is explosive, swaggering confidence. “Masterpiece” reminds us why vulnerability can be just as commanding as volume. Across every era, she has remained unapologetically herself – fierce, funny, honest and completely magnetic.
When she announced her latest album Don’t Tease Me With a Good Time, it felt like her performance at Good Times Live was written in the stars.
What makes this booking feel especially exciting is the setting. Jessie J is no stranger to global arenas, tv appearances, and career-defining moments. Yet there is something uniquely powerful about placing an artist of that scale into the heart of a market town and asking her to lean into community over capacity. Not smaller. Just closer.
Festival Director James Murden describes her as “a performer who knows how to deliver a show – every time, every note, every crowd.” Jessie doesn’t simply perform to an audience… she connects with it.
While Jessie J commands the stage on Thursday night at Good Times Live 2026, alongside some very special guests, the event continues to celebrate music, comedy and family fun over 6 days. Headline sets from Tom Odell, The Human League, Madness and Emeli Sandé span generations and genres. TVs Andy Day leads a dedicated dinosaur-themed family day. Then rounding up this very special weekend, Russell Howard headlines the Comedy Gala, alongside an incredible lineup of special guests, including local tik-tok star Laura Newman and Leigh Francis a.k.a Keith Lemon.
The team at Good Times Live acknowledges the vital support of the local community. Attendees from Chipping Sodbury, Wotton-under-Edge, Wickwar, and beyond, help them to bring these events to life. In fact, recruitment is currently open for local volunteers who’d like to be a part of the magic of bringing Good Times Live to life: GoodTimesLive.co.uk/Volunteer.
