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.

After time away from the spotlight, The Ordinary Boys return in 2026 for their 20th Anniversary, celebrating with a best-of release featuring Brassbound and Over The Counter Culture as well as performing on the Good Times stage! Expect their trademark indie-ska energy and hits like Boys Will Be Boys, Life Will Be the Death of Me, and 9to5.

DJ Chris Arnold takes you on a magical mystery tour showcasing The Fab Four like you've never heard before!
Expect to hear plenty of reggae, ska, latin, hip hop, dub, funk, house and even drum & bass takes on the wonderful music created by John, Paul, George & Ringo.
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!
