Summary
- Olly Murs will headline the Good Times Live festival in May 2027.
- The event began as a small community gathering with tribute acts.
- Organizers anticipate up to 50,000 attendees for the week-long festival.
The Good Times Live music festival is scheduled to return to Chipping Sodbury, a market town near Bristol, in May 2027. This year's event will feature a headline performance by popular artist Olly Murs.
The festival has seen significant expansion since its origins as a modest community event. Initially, it showcased tribute acts, but it has grown substantially year after year. Co-founder James Murden shared his astonishment at the festival's trajectory.
Murden stated that five years ago, the idea of welcoming up to 50,000 people for a week-long festival seemed like a joke. This remarkable growth highlights the festival's success in evolving from a small-scale gathering to a major event.
