Get ready, Wotton-under-Edge! One of the most anticipated events of the year is coming your way. Pepsi Presents Good Times Live 2026 returns to Chipping Sodbury on Wednesday 20th May, and this year it promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Headlining the opening night are the legendary Human League, the synth-pop pioneers whose iconic hits helped define a generation. Expect a live set packed with classics including the worldwide smash “Don’t You Want Me”, as well as fan favourites like “Mirror Man”, “(Keep Feeling) Fascination”, and “Human”.
Joining them on stage is none other than Marc Almond, bringing his unforgettable hit “Tainted Love” to life. And to top it off, Spandau Ballet, Eastenders, and “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” legend, Martin Kemp will get the dancing started with a guest DJ set. Whether you’re reliving the magic of the 80s or discovering it for the first time, this is a night of pure nostalgia and timeless music you won’t want to miss.
Festival Director James Murden has been thrilled to welcome music lovers from Wotton-under-Edge, Wickwar, and surrounding areas over the past three years. “It’s been amazing seeing so many familiar faces from the local community come back year after year,” he says. “We can’t wait to welcome you again this May and share another unforgettable night of music and good times with everyone in the area.”
Production Manager Tom Campbell adds, “This is pure 80s magic in the heart of the South West – a night for all fans of the era, whether you lived through it or just love the vibe. It’s about music, memories, and the joy of being together.”
This year’s festival also features headline acts Jessie J, Madness, and Emeli Sandé – plus a Comedy Gala with Russell Howard and special guests. It’s a full celebration of music, laughter, and unforgettable experiences over the May bank holiday.
