This Week in Bristol - Bristol Summer Series
Posted on: 20 Jun 2016From 22nd-25th June 2016 some of the biggest names in music will descend upon Bristol and a few tickets are still available. An incredible lineup will take to the stage at Lloyd’s Amphitheatre on Bristol Harbourside as part of the 2016 Bristol Summer Series.
The Bristol Summer Series is now well established on the Bristol events calendar after the 2014 and 2015 events went down a storm. Understandably, tickets for these shows sold like hot cakes and three of the four nights are now sold out. Don't worry though, not only are there still a limited number of tickets available for The Last Shadow Puppets but you can also get hold of VIP tickets - priced a little higher as you would expect but come with a bunch of extras including drinks and VIP access, etc - through the ticketing options listed below.
2016 British Solo Male Artist BRIT Award winner James Bay gets the festival underway on Wednesday 22nd June before Icelandic ethereal post-rock giants Sigur Ros make their first return to Bristol in 9 years on Thursday 23rd. The Last Shadow Puppets, featuring Miles Kane (The Rascals) and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) will kick things up a gear as they hit the stage on Friday 24th for one of their only UK shows of 2016 and their very first in the city. Rounding off the festivities will be 2016 British Breakthrough Act BRIT Award winners, Catfish and the Bottlemen on Saturday 25th June. All shows open at 6:30pm.
Tickets are priced at £29.50 for each individual day, though Catfish and the Bottlemen will be available at £20. They will be available from BristolTicketShop.co.uk and seetickets.com. Disabled tickets are available from See Tickets. The event this year is suitable for 14+ audiences.
Bob Angus, organiser of Bristol Summer Series from Metropolis Music, explained, “Bristol Summer Series is going from strength to strength, it’s exciting to be hosting concerts of two current BRIT Award winners. With his own BRIT Awards emoji, James Bay has taken England by storm with his Chaos and the Calm album debuting at No.1 on the Official Album Charts. We’re also incredibly proud to be the reason Sigur Ros returns to Bristol for the first time in nine years, with their big hits being used throughout different media productions, such as Hoppipolla.
“Continuing the week with The Last Shadow Puppets and finishing off with a big Saturday night party with BRIT Award winners, Catfish and the Bottlemen gives us an eclectic mix to appeal to different audiences and create a really unique concert series for the city.”
