We’re thrilled to give local artists a platform to shine in front of thousands of music lovers
Good Times Live in Chipping Sodbury, Bristol will host a series of music and comedy shows over the end of May bank holiday.
The organisers are inviting local artists to apply for a chance to join the Good Times Live 2026 lineup. The event will feature headline performances from Madness, Jessie J, The Human League and Emeli Sandé. Local solo artists can apply for an opportunity to open for these acts, and those selected will receive professional credit and payment for taking part.
Artists can submit their work at goodtimeslive.co.uk/submit. A shortlist of finalists will be invited to perform in front of a panel of industry judges in March, giving newer artists the chance to present their work to both professionals and audiences.
“Good Times Live has always been about celebrating music at its best - uniting legendary artists with fresh, exciting voices,” said Festival Director, James Murden. “We’re thrilled to give local artists a platform to shine in front of thousands of music lovers and industry insiders.”
For emerging musicians, this offers a chance to perform alongside established UK artists and increase their visibility within the industry. Applications are open at goodtimeslive.co.uk/submit.
