With a career that skyrocketed in the early 80s, The Human League were crowned Brit Award winners for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982. Their string of 80s and 90s hits - from Mirror Man and (Keep Feeling) Fascination to Human (their second US No. 1), and Tell Me When - cemented their place as one of the defining bands of the era.
Marc Almond is best known as the voice of Soft Cell, the duo behind the 1981 hit “Tainted Love.” With his rich, theatrical style and emotional delivery, Almond has carved out a unique place in pop music. Beyond Soft Cell, he’s built a long solo career blending pop, cabaret, and drama - always unmistakably himself.
If Martin Kemp makes it out of the jungle on "I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!" then he’ll be bringing his DJ skills to our Good Times Stage!
That’s right - the Spandau Ballet and Eastenders legend joins our headliners The Human League, along with Marc Almond, for an unforgettable night of iconic 80s hits and feel-good party vibes.
Get ready… this one’s going to be pure GOLD.
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!
