We’re turning the main stage into a full-blown House of Fun, as Madness bring their iconic blend of ska, pop, and punk. Expect all the hits - “Our House,” “Baggy Trousers,” “It Must Be Love,” “One Step Beyond” and more.
We're thrilled to announce Madness as our 2026 Saturday night headliner and will be revealing our special guest supporting acts soon!

The Ridings, Chipping Sodbury, Bristol
Doors Open: 5pm

Madness remains one of the UK’s most loved live acts, with a career spanning over four decades, chart-topping singles and albums, and a reputation for unforgettable festival performances. Used to selling-out large arena shows, their appearance at Good Times Live 2026 is expected to be one of the highlights of next year’s festival calendar. With a more intimate-sized venue, tickets are going to go FAST!
Watch this space, special guest announcement coming soon.
Really well thought out festival. Regular updates through emails and videos so we knew what you expect. Great atmosphere. Definitely looking to go next year.

Good Times festival was amazing. From the time we arrived... friendly and welcoming. The bar was well organised and there was a good variety of food to be had. The music was great and the turnaround of artists was really quick.

It felt well organised and safe and I appreciated the communication I received leading up to the event. Much as I'm tempted to keep this as a secret, I would highly recommend and I'm already looking forward to next time!
